    Abstract: An illustrative optical measurement device includes a light source configured to emit light pulses directed at a target of a user. The optical measurement device further includes a detector configured to detect arrival times for photons of the light pulses after the photons are scattered by the target. The optical measurement device further includes a processing unit configured to determine, while the optical measurement device is being worn by the user, an instrument response function (IRF) associated with the optical measurement device. The processing unit is further configured to generate, based on the arrival times of the photons at the detector, histogram data associated with the target. The processing unit is further configured to determine, based on the IRF and the histogram data, a property of the target.

    Abstract: An exemplary system includes a PLL circuit and a precision timing circuit connected to the PLL circuit. The PLL circuit has a PLL feedback period defined by a reference clock and includes a voltage controlled oscillator configured to lock to the reference clock and having a plurality of stages configured to output a plurality of fine phase signals each having a different phase, and a feedback divider configured to be clocked by a single fine phase signal included in the plurality of fine phase signals and have a plurality of feedback divider states during the PLL feedback period. The precision timing circuit is configured to generate a timing pulse and set, based on a first combination of one of the fine phase signals and one of the feedback divider states, a temporal position of the timing pulse within the PLL feedback period.

    Abstract: An illustrative system includes an extended reality system and a brain interface system configured to be concurrently worn by a user. The extended reality system is configured to provide the user with an extended reality experience and output a timing signal while the extended reality experience is being provided to the user, the timing signal representing a plurality of timing events that occur during the extended reality experience. The brain interface system is configured to receive the timing signal from the extended reality system while the extended reality experience is being provided to the user, acquire brain activity measurements while the extended reality experience is being provided to the user, and output measurement timestamp data representative of a temporal association of the brain activity measurements with the timing events.

    Abstract: An illustrative optical measurement system includes a light source configured to emit light directed at a target, an array of photodetectors configured to detect photons of the light after the light is scattered by the target, and a processing unit. The processing unit is configured to measure a noise level of a photodetector included in the array of photodetectors and determine that the noise level meets a predetermined threshold. The processing unit is further configured to prevent, based on the determining that the noise level meets the predetermined threshold, an output of the photodetector from being used in generating a histogram based on a temporal distribution of photons detected by the array of photodetectors.
