Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) require careful setup to minimize artifacts and ensure safety. This study details an optimal experimental protocol for high-quality, artifact-free EEG-fMRI data acquisition.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) offer complementary temporal and spatial resolutions for brain activity monitoring.
  • Acquiring high-quality data requires addressing artifacts inherent to combining these modalities, such as gradient, pulse, and motion artifacts.
  • Safety considerations, including radio frequency (RF) pulse interactions with EEG hardware, are critical.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe an optimal experimental setup for simultaneous EEG-fMRI acquisition.
  • To ensure high-quality EEG data and minimize artifacts during fMRI scans.
  • To mitigate safety risks associated with combined EEG-fMRI.

Main Methods:

  • Implementing specific data acquisition criteria to facilitate post-processing of gradient and pulse artifacts.
