Overview

Simultaneously recording electro-encephalograms with functional magnetic resonance imaging data is a new, multimodal neuro-imaging method that integrates the advantages of both modalities. Most often this method is used in epileptology (identification of the epileptogenic focus) and in the studies of functional brain network. This paper provides a brief overview of its data acquisition and processing methods and briefly addresses its most frequently-used applications.

Key words:
electroencephalography – functional magnetic resonance – multimodal imaging – epilepsy
