fMRI has commanded a dominant role in current neuroscience research, yet its use in neuro-scientific or bedside clinical studies has been limited because the current tools lack the combination of being portable while maintaining moderate resolution and localization accuracy. Optical neuroimaging overcomes these obstacles, but, until recent advancements in high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT), has been hampered by limited resolution. We evaluate the image-quality of HD-DOT against fMRI using functional maps of the visual cortex as a benchmark and quantify localization error with center-of-mass and phase metrics. This work provides support for adoption of HD-DOT as a surrogate for fMRI.
