Diffuse correlation spectroscopy (DCS) offers non-invasive measurements of tissue perfusion and is increasingly broadly applied in human subject research, in particular in the neuromonitoring arena. However, signal to noise (SNR) limitations have prompted great interest in alternative instrumentation approaches to address this issue, such as the speckle contrast optical spectroscopy (SCOS) technique which uses spatial multi-speckle contrast to estimate blood flow. Here we present a simulation study of the brain perfusion sensitivity achievable by each method on adults, to guide the use of SCOS vs DCS approaches in future studies. We find that SCOS brain sensitivity is comparable to DCS.
