{"pk":28048,"title":"Resting State Functional Connectivity in Children: A New Paradigm","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) can provide awindow into the neural architecture of functional networks inthe brain. Functional networks measured both during task andduring “resting” (task-absent) state are correlated withcognitive function, and much development of these networksoccurs between infancy and adulthood. However, rsFC studyin young children has been sparse, mainly due to a paucity ofchild-appropriate neural measures and behavioral paradigms.We present a new paradigm to measure rsFC in children,utilizing functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) andFreeplay, a behavioral setup designed to approximate restingstate in children. Results suggest this paradigm is practicaland has good construct validity and test-retest reliability.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"resting state functional connectivity; fNIRS; earlychildhood; Freeplay;"}],"section":"Publication-based-Talks","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/75d6t3dn","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jaeah","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kim","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon","department":""},{"first_name":"Alexander","middle_name":"","last_name":"Ruesch","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon","department":""},{"first_name":"Theodore","middle_name":"J","last_name":"Hupper","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Pittsburgh","department":""},{"first_name":"Jana","middle_name":"","last_name":"Kainerstorfer","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon","department":""},{"first_name":"Erika","middle_name":"D","last_name":"Thiessen","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon","department":""},{"first_name":"Anna","middle_name":"V","last_name":"Fisher","name_suffix":"","institution":"Carnegie Mellon","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2018-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28048/galley/17687/download/"}]}
