Summary

Portable neuroimaging approaches (functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy) provide advances to the study of the brain in previously inaccessible regions; here, rural Côte d'Ivoire. Innovation in methods and development of culturally-appropriate neuroimaging protocols permits novel study of the brain's development and children's learning outcomes in environments with significant poverty and adversity.
