Simultaneously recording electroencephalography (EEG) with functional MRI (fMRI) is now possible with a new method that minimizes MR scanner artifacts. This technique allows for high-quality EEG data during fMRI scans, enabling advanced neurological research.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) offer significant potential for neurological research and clinical applications.
  • Recording EEG during fMRI is challenging due to substantial artifacts from MR scanner static and time-variant fields.
  • Existing methods struggle to achieve high-fidelity EEG data concurrently with fMRI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a novel method for acquiring high-quality EEG simultaneously with fMRI.
  • To minimize and mitigate artifacts in EEG signals caused by the fMRI environment.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of continuous EEG monitoring during functional MRI scans.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized bipolar montage with special twisted dual-lead electrodes for differential EEG recording.

  • Implemented a combination of analog pre-processing and digital post-processing techniques for EEG data.
  • Designed a functional MRI scan protocol optimized for artifact reduction, achieving over 87% artifact-free EEG data.

    • Main Results:

    • Significantly reduced artifacts, including gradient, radio frequency, motion, and ballistocardiographic interference, in the EEG signals.
    • Enabled continuous EEG monitoring throughout the fMRI scanning period.
    • Demonstrated that post-processed EEG data acquired during fMRI retains valuable spectral information.

    Conclusions:

    • High-quality EEG recording is achievable concurrently with fMRI acquisition.
    • The combined EEG/fMRI approach allows for the creation of activation maps for EEG changes, such as inter-ictal spikes or spectral variations.
    • This integrated technique facilitates the study of evoked response potentials (ERPs) in conjunction with fMRI data.
