MCI, fNIRS, Deep-Learning, CNNAbstract
With the continuous development of functional near-infrared spectroscopy, (fNIRS) and deep learning technology, the fusion of deep learning with FNIRS is increasingly being utilized in research on MCI. This paper begins by outlining the basic principles of FNIRS and the fundamental concepts of deep learning required for fusion. It then summarizes the analysis methods and latest findings of deep learning fused with FNIRS in MCI research, and explores its future development direction.
