Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Visual Perception

Background:

  • Understanding face perception relies on mapping neural interactions within the visual cortex.
  • The link between fMRI-detected neural activity and EEG markers like the N170 component in face processing remains unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effective connectivity within the face perception network using integrated EEG-fMRI data.
  • To determine how neural activity variations, reflected in the N170 component, modulate interactions between face-sensitive brain regions.

Main Methods:

  • Employed dynamic causal modeling (DCM) to fuse concurrently acquired EEG and fMRI data during upright and inverted face perception.
  • Utilized single-trial EEG variability as modulators on fMRI-derived effective connectivity estimates.
  • Constrained model space using task and ERP parameters' effects on fMRI data.

Main Results:

  • Bayesian model selection identified the occipital face area (OFA) as a central hub, directing information to the superior temporal sulcus (STS), fusiform face area (FFA), and medial fusiform gyrus (mFG).
  • OFA-to-STS connectivity strengthened with larger N170 amplitudes for upright faces.
  • OFA-to-mFG connectivity increased for inverted faces, particularly with smaller N170 amplitudes, suggesting a shift towards object processing networks.

Conclusions:

  • Trial-by-trial N170 variations reflect the preferential engagement of the OFA-to-STS/FFA network over the OFA-to-mFG network during face perception.
  • Integrating EEG-derived N170 information into DCM significantly improved model prediction, underscoring the value of multi-modal data fusion for understanding neural interactions.
