Conclusions In this study, changes in spatial sensitivity profiles in a model of the adult head caused by source-detector orientation with respect to the sulcus structure has been investigated. The volume of tissue sampled at the brain surface has been found to vary little with the source-detector orientation. In case where the source and detector optodes are positioned along the sulcus, the deeper part of the brain around the sulcus is interrogated however the contribution of this part of the tissue to tite total NIRS signal is significantly less than that of the brain surface. In the case of a crosswise source-detector orientation, the deeper parts ofthe brain around the sulcus make almost no contribution to the NIRS signal.
