This protocol describes partial wavelet transform coherence (pWTC) for calculating the time-lagged pattern of interpersonal neural synchronization (INS) to infer the direction and temporal pattern of information flow during social interaction. The effectiveness of pWTC in removing the confounds of signal autocorrelation on INS was proved by two experiments.

The current article describes the basics of multivariate analysis and contrasts it to the more commonly used voxel-wise univariate analysis. Both types of analysis are applied to a clinical-neuroscience data set. Supplementary split-half simulations show better replication of the multivariate results in independent data sets.

2025
Accurate analysis of multidimensional microscopy data requires complex workflows. This article demonstrates how to use the software Cell-ACDC. It leverages state-of-the-art AI-driven models for segmentation, tracking, cell pedigree analysis, and quantification of microscopy data. Crucially, it complements these models with an innovative framework for semi-automated correction of the models' output.
FAQs
The relative changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin provide complementary signals rather than a single measure of activation. Comparing their patterns helps analysts characterize the hemodynamic response associated with a task, while recognizing that both signals are affected by how light travels through tissue. This makes interpretation dependent on signal quality and the experimental context.
Signal quality assessment identifies measurements that may not reliably reflect brain-related changes before statistical interpretation begins. Poor-quality data can obscure task-related hemodynamic responses or make apparent effects difficult to interpret. Evaluating quality early therefore supports more trustworthy correction, filtering, and modeling decisions, especially when comparing responses across participants, tasks, or populations.
Physiological noise can contribute changes that are not directly related to the cognitive, sensory, or motor process under study. Limited spatial depth also restricts how confidently measurements represent activity within deeper tissue. These constraints mean that fNIRS findings require careful interpretation rather than being treated as a complete or perfectly localized account of brain function.
A typical workflow begins with signal quality assessment, followed by correction of motion-related artifacts and filtering of the measurements. The processed signals are then examined through statistical modeling to relate hemoglobin changes to the experimental task. Keeping these stages distinct helps analysts identify unreliable data, reduce unwanted variation, and evaluate task-related hemodynamic responses systematically.
Motion-artifact correction addresses changes introduced when movement disrupts the recorded signal, rather than reflecting the task-related response itself. It is especially important when participants move during cognitive, sensory, or motor experiments. Applying correction before later filtering and statistical modeling can improve the interpretability of the remaining measurements, although the resulting signals still require quality assessment.
This analysis supports studies that connect hemodynamic responses with cognitive, sensory, and motor tasks. Its relative tolerance for natural movement is useful for research involving development, clinical populations, and real-world settings. Researchers can use the resulting indicators to examine brain function in contexts that may be difficult to reproduce with more movement-restrictive imaging approaches.
