1. A method for non-invasively determining a blood oxygenation level within a subject'"'"'s tissue, comprising the steps of:

  • providing a spectrophotometric sensor operable to transmit light into the subject'"'"'s tissue, and to sense the light;

    inputting into the sensor at least one of the subject'"'"'s age, weight, brain development, and head size;

    spectrophotometrically sensing the subject'"'"'s tissue along a plurality of wavelengths using the sensor, and producing signal data from sensing the subject'"'"'s tissue; and

    processing the signal data utilizing the at least one of the subject'"'"'s age, weight, brain development, and head size, to determine the blood oxygen saturation level within the subject'"'"'s tissue using a difference in attenuation between the wavelengths.
