Abstract
Significance: The ability to monitor cerebral blood flow (CBF) at the bedside is essential to managing critical-care patients with neurological emergencies. Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) is ideal because it is non-invasive, portable, and inexpensive. We investigated a near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) approach for converting DCS measurements into physiological units of blood flow. Aim: Using magnetic resonance imaging perfusion as a reference, we investigated the accuracy of absolute CBF measurements from a bolus-tracking NIRS method that used transient hypoxia as a flow tracer and hypercapnia-induced increases in CBF measured by DCS. Approach: years) completed a hypercapnia protocol with simultaneous CBF recordings from DCS and arterial spin labeling (ASL). Nine participants completed the transient hypoxia protocol while instrumented with time-resolved NIRS. The estimate of baseline CBF was subsequently used to calibrate hypercapnic DCS data. Results: ). Conclusions: Results demonstrated the feasibility of an all-optics approach that can both quantify CBF and perform continuous perfusion monitoring.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
