Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful neuroimaging tool. However, the inside of an MRI scanner forms a difficult environment for EEG data recording and safety must be considered whenever operating EEG equipment inside a scanner. Here, we present an optimised EEG-fMRI data acquisition protocol.

Neuroimaging researchers typically consider the brain's response as the mean activity across repeated experimental trials and disregard signal variability over time as "noise". However, it is becoming clear that there is signal in that noise. This article describes the novel method of multiscale entropy for quantifying brain signal variability in the time domain.

Event-related potential (ERP) recording is under utilized in Cognitive Neuroscience because data acquisition techniques are not readily available and this method often has poor spatial resolution. To foster the increased use of ERPs in Cognitive Neuroscience, the present article details key techniques involved in high density ERP data acquisition.

We present a protocol for concurrent collection of EEG/fMRI data, and synchronized MR clock signal recording. We demonstrate this method using a unique paradigm whereby subjects receive ‘cold glove’ instructions during scanning, and EEG/fMRI data are recorded along with hand temperature measurements both before and after hypnotic induction.
FAQs
Scalp electrodes detect voltage fluctuations at the head surface that reflect electrical activity generated by synchronized postsynaptic activity. This relationship allows recordings to track changes in brain dynamics over time without directly measuring behavior itself. In behavioral experiments, these changes can be aligned with task events to examine when neural responses accompany attention, perception, learning, or decision-making.
Amplifiers increase the strength of the electrical signals detected by the electrodes, making them suitable for recording and analysis. Sampling systems then convert those signals into digital data that can be examined over time. Together, these components preserve the temporal structure of brain activity, supporting millisecond-level comparisons between neural responses and events in a behavioral task.
Filtering and artifact rejection reduce interference that can obscure brain-related signals. The overview identifies muscle movement, eye activity, and environmental noise as important sources of contamination. Managing these influences helps distinguish neural changes from unwanted signal variation, improving the interpretability of recordings when researchers compare brain responses across task conditions or examine changes occurring during behavior.
A typical workflow combines surface electrodes, signal amplification, digital sampling, and subsequent filtering or artifact rejection. Researchers record while participants complete a controlled behavioral task, then prepare the resulting time-varying data for analysis. This sequence links recorded brain dynamics with task conditions while addressing signal interference that could otherwise complicate interpretation of behavioral findings.
EEG acquisition supports investigations of attention, perception, learning, decision-making, and sleep. Its time-sensitive measurements allow researchers to ask when brain responses occur in relation to behavioral events and whether those responses differ across conditions. The method therefore contributes temporal information that can complement behavioral observations when studying how cognitive processes unfold.
EEG recordings can show when cognitive processes occur and how neural responses vary between experimental conditions or individuals. In a behavioral study, researchers can compare brain dynamics associated with different task situations rather than relying only on performance measures. These comparisons may clarify the timing of responses and identify variation in neural activity across participants.
