ABSTRACT:
Irradiated points and light receiving points are arranged such that sampling points are arranged over an entire spherical head with no vacant space. The sampling points are arranged to cover the entire spherical head by combining a plurality of rhombic shells and inverting the respective positions of irradiated points and light receiving points in the adjacent shells. As a result, a whole brain probe capable of covering the entire head is provided to allow an image of the whole brain to be viewed as a single image.
