Systems and methods for path length selected diffuse correlation spectroscopy (PLS-DCS) are disclosed. The systems and methods are suitable for measuring dynamics of a target medium. The systems and methods can utilize light sources having a coherence length that is shorter than a path length distribution of the target medium and can utilize a reference optical path to interferometrically detect PLS-DCS signals. The coherence length and reference path length can be selected to provide sensitivity to portions of the target medium that correspond to a desired path length distribution.

An apparatus for earning out near-infrared spectroscopy using intensity-modulated near-infrared radiation or pulsed near-infrared radiation includes sources and detectors. For each source, there exists first and second distances. The first distance is a distance between the source and a first detector. The second distance is a distance between the source and the second detector. For each source, the difference between these two distances is the same. Additionally, wherein, for each source, the detector at a shorter distance is the same detector that is at a longer distance for the other source. A processor derives, from signals received by the detectors, a parameter indicative of two matched slopes. Tins parameter is either phase of the intensity-modulated near-infrared radiation or mean time-of-flight data for the pulsed near-infrared radiation. The processor then provides output data based on an average of the matched slopes. This promotes reduced sensitivity to superficial layers and enhanced sensitivity to deeper portions of a medium that is under investigation.

Robust estimation of a characteristic of a user's physiological signals can be achieved by filtering or classifying samples. Rather than estimating the characteristic of the user's physiological signals based on each sample at a first wavelength and a second wavelength, a robust system and method can, in some examples, estimate the characteristic using samples at the first wavelength and the second wavelength that meet one or more criteria and filter out samples that fail to meet the one or more criteria. In some examples, the system and method can weight samples based on the one or more criteria, and estimate the characteristic using the weighted samples. Samples failing to meet the one or more criteria can be given less weight or no weight in the estimation. The one or more criteria can include a criterion based on at least the physiological signal at a third wavelength.

[Problem] To predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable. [Solution] An information processing device according to the present disclosure includes a remaining time estimation unit that estimates, on the basis of a luminance limit value for observation of a fluorescence image and a change in luminance of a fluorescence image, a remaining time until the luminance of the fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value. This configuration enables the time at which the luminance of a fluorescence image reaches the luminance limit value to be estimated according to a change in luminance of the fluorescence image, and it is possible to predict a remaining time during which a fluorescence image is observable.
