The layout and set-up information of fNIRS channels.
BrainnetViewer visualized the channel layout with the smoothed Colin brain template [41]. The coordinates of the nodes corresponded to the positions of the light sources (red) and detectors (blue), while the edges represented the 22 channels. The term ‘specificity’ refers to the representativeness of each channel for its corresponding brain area based on its anatomical location.

FC analysis of channels under different pressure intensities and ROI.
The chord diagrams were generated based on paired t-tests comparing FC under 0 mmHg with other pressure intensities. Channels with dashed lines indicate p < 0.05.
