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.

The current article describes the basics of multivariate analysis and contrasts it to the more commonly used voxel-wise univariate analysis. Both types of analysis are applied to a clinical-neuroscience data set. Supplementary split-half simulations show better replication of the multivariate results in independent data sets.

FAQs
Quality is judged against intended use rather than a single universal threshold. A dataset may be complete yet contain inaccurate measurements, or be accurate but too outdated for a time-sensitive engineering decision. Examining accuracy, completeness, consistency, validity, uniqueness, and timeliness together helps engineers determine whether the data are fit for a particular design, maintenance, or operational task.
Data profiling exposes the structure and apparent condition of a dataset, while validation rules test whether records meet required conditions. Statistical checks highlight unusual distributions or values, and anomaly detection draws attention to observations that depart from expected behavior. Used together, these mechanisms help separate missingness, format inconsistency, measurement error, and outliers, giving engineers a targeted basis for correction.
Examining both levels reveals whether a problem is isolated or systemic. Record-level checks can expose a missing value, invalid format, or suspect measurement in one entry. Statistical checks can show that unusual values or inconsistencies occur across a broader dataset. This distinction helps engineers focus corrective effort and judge whether a dataset is suitable for its intended technical use.
Uniqueness prevents duplicate records from making an observation appear more often than it actually occurred. In engineering datasets, that inflation can affect summaries, detected anomalies, or conclusions drawn from sensor and manufacturing information. Checking for repeated records therefore protects downstream design, maintenance, and operational analyses from treating duplicated evidence as additional evidence.
An engineering workflow can combine data profiling, validation rules, statistical checks, and anomaly detection. Engineers use the resulting findings to locate missing values, duplicates, inconsistent formats, measurement errors, and outliers. Addressing those defects before they move into later technical workflows creates a clearer basis for design, maintenance, simulation, or operational decisions.
When sensor or manufacturing data contain gaps, inconsistent formats, suspect measurements, or unusual values, Data Quality Analysis gives engineers a structured way to investigate them. The same approach supports verification of datasets used in design and maintenance. Its value is greatest before defective observations propagate into troubleshooting or other technical workflows, where they could complicate interpretation and decisions.
Validated datasets strengthen simulations and models because engineers can identify defects before those data become inputs to technical workflows. Analysis results also support operational decisions by showing where information may be incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate, or outdated for the task. This evidence helps determine whether the underlying data are reliable enough to support a particular engineering use.
Within engineering research, the analysis contributes to reproducibility by exposing data defects that could otherwise make results difficult to repeat or interpret. It also supports risk-informed practice by revealing weaknesses in information used for technical decisions. Identifying missingness, duplication, and measurement error helps teams improve data handling and reduce the chance that defects propagate unnoticed.
