Another way to measure and document lack of blood flow to the brain – by measuring changes in oxygenation.

This article describes a study to see how well it worked with younger and older test subjects moving from either supine or sitting to standing:

I imagine this could be added to autonomic testing for people with orthostatic symptoms. Has anyone heard of that happening?

Here are some images of the device. A bonnet with electrodes!
