Abstract: Highlights•Novel image reconstruction technique was validated by simultaneously measuring brain activity with fNIRS and fMRI.•Both modalities show positive and negative correlations across visual working memory conditions.•Both modalities show similar trends in activation in response to increases in working memory load.
