New publication from Bingxue Liu

Congratulations to Bingxue Liu for publishing the first paper of the Speckle group in Year 2024! This work summarizes the mathematics behind the theory of dynamic light scattering (DLS) and laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI). It serves as a valuable resource for experimentalists to choose the correct model and for students to follow through with the details of calculations.

We are recruiting!

Title: A transformative method for functional brain imaging with speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) and functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
Faculty: David A. Boas (dboas@bu.edu), Xiaojun Cheng (xcheng17@bu.edu)
Description: We are looking for a PhD student to work on the project of developing a multi-channel SCOS-fNIRS optical system to achieve high quality measurements of human brain blood flow, oxygenation, and function. Please contact us if you want to rotate with us and/or want to learn more about this project.
