Optical topography refers to a method of brain imaging that measures activity in different regions of the brain by using the degree to which light passes between points on the scalp as an indicator of blood oxygenation and thus neural activity.

Near-infrared spectroscopy is also known as Near-infrared spectroscopy or NIRS.
