چکیده

an integrated model for magnetoencephalography (meg) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri) is proposed. in the proposed model, meg and fmri outputs are related to the corresponding aspects of neural activities in a voxel. post synaptic potentials (psps) and action potentials (aps) are two main signals generated by neural activities. in the model, both of meg and fmri are related to the psps without any correlation to the aps. each psp is modeled by the direction and strength of its current flow, which are treated as random variables. the overall neural activity in each voxel is used for equivalent current dipole in meg and as input of the extended balloon model for producing blood oxygen level dependent (bold) signal in fmri. the proposed model shows possibility of detecting activation by fmri in a voxel while the voxel is silent for meg and vice versa. this is according to the fact that fmri signal reflects the sum of psps’ strengths (independent of their directions) but meg signal reflects the vector sum of the psps (which depends on their directions). the model also shows that the crosstalk from neural activities of adjacent voxels in fmri and properties of the inverse problem in meg generate different spatial responses in the two modalities. we use real auditory meg and fmri datasets from 2 normal subjects to estimate the parameters of the model. goodness of fit of the real data to our model shows the possibility of using the proposed model to simulate realistic datasets.

Combined MEG and fMRI model

An integrated model for magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is proposed. In the proposed model, MEG and fMRI outputs are related to the corresponding aspects of neural activities in a voxel. Post synaptic potentials (PSPs) and action potentials (APs) are two main signals generated by neural activities. In the model, both of MEG and fMRI are related to t...

How can EEG/MEG and fMRI/PET data be combined?

In the last few years, the functional brain imaging community has witnessed numerous efforts (and perhaps even more discussion) directed at multimodality data fusion: combining high-quality localization information provided by the hemodynamic-based brain imaging methods such as PET and fMRI with highquality temporal data generated by the electromagnetic-based techniques such as EEG and MEG [Dal...

Robust Head Tracking for fMRI and MEG

In this work we present a comparison of two methods for tracking patients in imaging systems, whereby we concentrate on functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) and Magneto-Encephalography (MEG). Due to problems with magnetic fields from tracking systems, we rely on a stereo camera setup that is outside the critical region. One of the tracking approaches is based on bundle-adjustment, where...

The relationship between MEG and fMRI

In recent years functional neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI, MEG, EEG and PET have provided researchers with a wealth of information on human brain function. However none of these modalities can measure directly either the neuro-electrical or neuro-chemical processes that mediate brain function. This means that metrics directly reflecting brain 'activity' must be inferred from other metrics...
