Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy to Probe State- and Trait-Like Conditions in Chronic Tinnitus: A Proof-of-Principle Study by Martin Schecklmann, Anette Giani, Sara Tupak, Berthold Langguth, Vincent Raab, Thomas Polak, Csanád Várallyay, Wilma Harnisch, Martin J. Herrmann, Andreas J. Fallgatter

“…Several neuroscience tools showed the involvement of auditory cortex in chronic tinnitus. In this proof-of-principle study we probed the capability of functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for the measurement of brain oxygenation in auditory cortex in dependence from chronic tinnitus and from intervention with transcranial magnetic stimulation. …”
