The primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) induces intoxication and functional impairment, raising safety concerns in driving. The traditional impairment detection method, behavioral field sobriety tests (FSTs), are subject to bias. To determine whether resting-state functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can detect THC-related impairment with greater...
