Simultaneous EEG and fMRI
Recording
Mantini et al., 2007
Imaging, Ballistocardigraphic
(BCG) and Ocular Artifacts
BCG artifacts
create a 10 Hz
rhythm in EEG.
Anami et al., 2003
Artifacts Detail
a = fat
suppression
pulse, b = slice
selection RF, c,
d, h are
spoilers, e =
slice selection
gradient, f =
dephasing and
rephasing
gradient, g =
read out
gradient. g has
frequency 833
Hz here.
Allen et al., 1998
Removal of BCG or Pulse Artifacts
Template

Niazy et al., 2005
Gradient Artifact and Its Removal
Niazy et al., 2005
Four Stage Removal of Gradient
Artifacts
1.
2.
3.
Slice timing trigger alignment –
synchronization of EEG and fMRI system
clocks.
Local slice artifact template subtraction.
Residual artifact removal by optimal basis
set (OBS).
Widrow et al., 1975
Four Stage Removal of Gradient
Artifacts (cont)
4. Adaptive noise cancelation (ANC).
Simultaneous EEG-fMRI
Recording


Wires must not loop around to avoid
generation of current (Lenz’s law) under high
magnetic field.
EEG electrodes and wires must not contain
magnetic materials like steel, nickel.
Simultaneous EEG-fMRI recording
(cont)



Movements in body, wires, electrodes and
equipments must be minimized as far as
possible.
Head to be fixed by air cushion.
Electric wires are also to be fixed to avoid
any possible movements.
Safety Issues



Specific absorption rate (SAR)
Heat is generated due to eddy current in
electrode tips under high magnetic field.
Heat generation (carbon fiber electrodes are
better than metal electrodes).
Goldman et al., 2000
Bipolar Montage with Twisted
Wires
In twisted wire pair
electric field
produced in one
due to high
magnetic field is
canceled out by
opposing field in
the other.
