Table 2.

Absolute values (SD^a) and side to side (S-S) difference of fdNIRS oxygen saturation ( $S_{t} O_{2}$ ) and total hemoglobin (tHb) measurements in the five acute stroke patients. Abnormal values compared to the control population are marked by ^a.

SD of single measurements in this table represents the variation over the time of a single measurement. A single measurement lasts around 50 s and data points are recorded at 2 Hz (around 100 data points).

SFG: this area was posterior and superior to the frontal area and was done in this patient because it was thought to be involved; MCA, middle cerebral artery; ICA, internal carotid artery.
