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.

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.

This paper describes a method for collecting and analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) data during concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) guided by activations revealed with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). A method for TMS artifact removal and extraction of event related potentials is described as well as considerations in paradigm design and experimental setup.

EEG is a non-invasive technique that can measure brain activity. The neural activity generates electrical signals that are recorded by EEG electrodes placed on the scalp. When an individual is engaged in performing a cognitive task, brain activity changes and these changes can be recorded on the EEG graph. Therefore, it is a powerful tool for cognitive scientist aiming to better understand the neural correlates associated with different aspects of cognition, which will ultimately help them...

fMRI: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
0 Views •
2023
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique used to investigate human brain function and cognition in both healthy individuals and populations with abnormal brain states. Functional MRI utilizes a magnetic resonance signal to detect changes in blood flow that are coupled to neuronal activation when a specific task is performed. This is possible because hemoglobin within the blood has different magnetic properties depending on whether or not it is bound...
FAQs
Artifact correction is essential because the magnetic-resonance environment can introduce signals that contaminate the electrical recording. EEG-fMRI workflows therefore correct scanner-related artifacts before interpreting voltage fluctuations, allowing the retained EEG signal to represent brain electrical dynamics more faithfully. This step is especially important when researchers align rapid EEG events with simultaneously measured fMRI changes.
Combining the modalities connects complementary dimensions of brain activity. EEG identifies when electrical changes occur with millisecond-scale precision, whereas fMRI indicates where blood-oxygen-level-dependent changes occur across local regions and distributed networks. Their alignment helps researchers relate the timing of cognitive events to anatomical sources and network-level activity associated with behavior.
The two signals reflect different physiological aspects of brain function. EEG records voltage fluctuations at the scalp, while fMRI detects BOLD changes linked to local neural activity. Consequently, matching features across datasets requires careful temporal synchronization and interpretation rather than treating one measurement as a direct substitute for the other.
A basic workflow records electrical activity through scalp electrodes while fMRI data are acquired at the same time. The recordings must be synchronized so that events in both signals share a common temporal reference. Scanner-related artifacts are then corrected, creating datasets that can be compared to examine rapid activity alongside hemodynamic changes.
During behavioral research, synchronized signals can associate rapid neural events with observable task-related processes. Researchers can examine perception, attention, memory, or decision-making by relating EEG timing to fMRI patterns and their anatomical distribution. This approach supports questions about how transient brain dynamics contribute to behavioral responses across coordinated regions and networks.
The combined method is useful when researchers need both temporal detail and anatomical context for abnormal brain activity. EEG can characterize rapid electrical dynamics, while fMRI can show related local or distributed changes. Together, these measurements may help organize observations of neurological disorders around altered brain dynamics and their potential behavioral consequences.
