note = "Funding Information: This work was supported in part by NIA grant no. AG21887 to Monica Fabiani, by NIBIB grant no. R01 EB002011-08 to Gabriele Gratton, and by DARPA grants to Gabriele Gratton and Monica Fabiani. The work supported by DARPA is approved for public release, distribution unlimited. Funding Information: Because of their relative portability, noninvasive optical methods such as fNIR and EROS can in principle be used in a number of applied domains, from clinical to field deployment, although currently the feasibility of various applications is still in the research development stage. The articles collected in this issue are in part the result of research funded by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) Improving Warfighter Information Intake Under Stress Program, which is based on the field of augmented cognition [23]. This program focused on establishing the feasibility of monitoring an operator{\textquoteright}s brain activity to enhance cognitive performance in real time by avoiding catastrophic errors and by delivering information at the most appropriate times. The Chance and Izzetoglu articles in this issue summarize work done in this domain. Of course, research applications of optical methods, especially in cognitive neuroscience, are also extremely useful, as shown by the Tse article in this issue and by the flurry of publications in this area in the last few years (e.g., [11], [12], [24]–[26]). Given the flexibility of optical methods, their potential portability, and their ease of integration with other techniques, it is likely that a big expansion of these methods will occur over the next decade, of which the collection of articles in this issue is meant to give but a small preview.",
