Near InfraRed Spectroscopy (NIRS) is becoming a popular technique to study early neurocognitive development in infants. There are, however, still a host of methodological stumbling blocks that need to be addressed to improve the reliability of the data. In this talk, I address some of these issues, illustrating them with recent data in language discrimination and social cognition paradigms that we have been developing recently.
