Abstract

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS) is a non-invasive and low-restrictive functional brain mapping method using near-infrared light. In addition, fNIRS can also be used for studies of cognitive development of infants and young children because near-infrared light is absorbed very little by biological substances and heat is hardly generated in principle. In recent years, studies using fNIRS have been conducted in research on neurodevelopmental disorders, and are expected to be biomarkers of neurodevelopmental disorders. If information on brain functions of neurodevelopmental disorders is obtained, it will be used as basic data for providing appropriate support in special education. Therefore, in this paper, the author reviewed previewed previous studies using fNIRS for children with ADHD, which is one of neurodevelopmental disorders. The possibility of applying the knowledge obtained from fNIRS research to special education was discussed.
