Due to an error in the analysis of the diffuse correlation spectroscopy data, all the absolute αD_B values reported in the article [1] should be multiplied by a factor of two. Consequently, the αD_B values in Table 2 of Ref. [1] should be replaced by those in the following Table 1:

Table 1. (with corrected αD_B values): αD_B and CBF values obtained from the experimental data presented in Fig. 3 of Ref. [1]

Figure 5 should be replaced by the following Fig. 1:

 

Fig. 1 Correlation between CBF and corresponding values of absolute αD_B: (A) αD_B was obtained using the measured optical properties for each animal and (B) αD_B was determined assuming µ_a = 0.19 cm⁻¹ and µ_s' = 7.4 cm⁻¹ across all animals. Data are presented from the seven experiments using the single photon counting module with high quantum efficiency.

As a result, the slopes of the curves in Fig. 5A and 5B of Ref. [1] should be replaced by 0.57 ± 0.04 (ml/min/100g)/(10⁻⁹cm²s⁻¹) and 0.60 ± 0.06 (ml/min/100g)/(10⁻⁹cm²s⁻¹), respectively.

Note that the error does not affect the correlation between the CBF and αD_B or any of the conclusions of the article.
