Time-normalization approach for fNIRS data during tasks with high variability in duration

This dataset is related to fNIRS data that were collected during three different motor/balance control tasks in eight children (4 children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and 4 typically developing (TD) children).

More specifically, the tasks performed are:

-alternate stair touching task, where the subject taps with the feet on a stool in front of them alternately with left and right foot as fast and as controlled as possible;

-leaning task, where the subject leans as far and as stable as possible sidewards while seated, without falling and keeping the feet on the ground;

-walking task, where the child walks 6 meters over level ground as fluently as possible.

All tasks are performed at a self-pace rithm (i.e they have all different durations) , therefore a time-normalization procedure is needed.

The details about data collection and processing and time-normalization are reported in the following manuscript: Falivene, A.; Johnson, C.; Klingels, K.; Meyns, P.; Verbecque, E.; Hallemans, A.; Biffi, E.; Piazza, C.; Crippa, A.
