(a) Simulated time traces of Δ[HbO₂] and Δ[Hb] as can be measured with NIRS. (b) The NIRS measurements of panel (a) are converted by CHS into cbv(t) and cbf(t), under the assumption cmro₂(t) = 0, by using the parameter values t^(c) = 0.7 s, t^(ν) = 5 s, $\frac{{\mathcal{F}}^{(c)}{{\text{CBV}}_0}^{(c)}}{{\text{CBV}}_0}=0.4,$ $\frac{{{\text{CBV}}_0}^{(a)}}{{\text{CBV}}_0}=0.3,$ and by assuming $\Delta {\text{CBV}}^{(a)}(t)=\Delta {\text{CBV}}^{(v)}(t).$
