Background and Objective: Modeling of light transport in tissue requires development of theoretical models and experimental procedures, as well as tissue-simulating phantoms. Our purpose was to develop a phantom that matches the optical characteristics of human skin in the visible and near infrared

โฆ Synopsis
We describe a phantom which enables EEG and near-infrared optical tomography to be performed simultaneously over the same volume. The phantom provides a surface electrical contact impedance comparable to that of the human scalp, whilst also possessing an optical scattering coefficient and electrical conductivity equivalent to that of brain tissue. The construction of the phantom is described, as is the resulting simultaneous EEG and near infrared optical tomography experiment, which, to our knowledge, is the first performed on a scale comparable to that of the infant human brain. This imaging experiment successfully shows the suitability of this phantom construction for the assessment of simultaneous EEG and near infrared optical tomography systems.
