Abstract:

Brain activity is distributed over the three-dimensional brain and evolves over time. Over the past decades, functional neuroimaging has emerged as an important interdisciplinary research area. This has been in particular promoted by the development of functional MRI and the significant advancement in electrophysiological neuroimaging using EEG/MEG. We will review our work in electrophysiological neuroimaging integrating EEG with structure MRI, and show its applications to aid presurgical planning in epilepsy patients. We will also review our work on multimodal functional neuroimaging integrating electrophysiological and hemodynamic measurements to significantly enhance the spatio-temporal resolution of imaging brain activity. Our recent work indicates that, the event-related BOLD fMRI and electrophysiological data can be integrated in a principled way, leading to high-resolution spatio-temporal functional imaging of the dynamic brain activation. We will also review the investigation of co-localization of hemodynamic and electrophysiological signals associated with motor imagery for brain-computer interface applications, using BOLD fMRI and electrophysiological neuroimaging.
