Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) offer complementary insights into brain activity.
  • Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are EEG signals reflecting visual cortex function.
  • Integrating VEPs with fMRI presents technical challenges but promises enhanced understanding of visual processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility of continuously and simultaneously recording VEPs with fMRI.
  • To quantitatively compare cortical source images derived from VEPs and fMRI.
  • To evaluate the impact of fMRI information on VEP source localization.

Main Methods:

  • Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to compare cortical source images.

  • Simultaneous VEP and fMRI data were acquired from participants.
  • fMRI prior information was applied to refine VEP source estimation.

    • Main Results:

    • Averaged VEP source images showed good agreement with simultaneously acquired fMRI activations.
    • Strong correlation was observed between VEP source images recorded inside and outside the MRI scanner.
    • Using fMRI prior information improved the correlation and spatial resolution of VEP source estimates.

    Conclusions:

    • Reliable cortical source images can be acquired during simultaneous fMRI scanning.
    • This simultaneous VEP-fMRI technique is suitable for multimodal functional source imaging.
    • The findings support the integration of EEG and fMRI for comprehensive brain function analysis.
