2. SIGNAL PROCESSING for fMRI DATA ANALYSIS
Question: Can we construct an accurate statistical model to describe the spatial temporal patterns of activation in fMRI images from visual and motor cortices during combined motor and visual tasks? (Purdon et al., 2001; Solo et al., 2001)

Signal Processing for EEG in the fMRI Scanner
How can we remove the artefacts from EEG signals recorded simultaneously with fMRI measurements? (Bonmassar et al. 2002)

Faraday’s Induced Noise
Bv
= N —
t
• A Fundamental Physical Problem w/ EEG/fMRI:– Motion of the EEG electrodes and leads generates noise currents!
• Machine Motion– helium pump, vibration of table, ventilation system
• Physiological Motion– heart beat (ballistocardiogram), breathing, subject motion
![Page 21: Neural Signal Processing.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55566011d8b42aa41e8b54ab/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Noise vs. Signal...
The Noise:• Ballistocardiogram: >150 V @ 1.5T in many
cases• Motion: > 200 V @ 1.5T
The Signal:• ERPs: < 10 V, reject epochs if > 50 V• Alpha waves: < 100 V
![Page 22: Neural Signal Processing.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55566011d8b42aa41e8b54ab/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Adaptive Filtering
• Use a motion sensor to measure the ballistocardiogram and head motion– Place near temporal artery to pick up
ballistocardiogram
• Use motion signal to remove induced noise

• Visual Evoked Potentials (VEPs)• Motion
– Head-nod once per 7-10 seconds for 5 minutes

COMBINED EEG/fMRI
What are the advantages to combining EEG and fMRI?( Liu, Belliveau and Dale 1998)
![Page 29: Neural Signal Processing.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55566011d8b42aa41e8b54ab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Combined EEG/fMRI
• Combines high temporal resolution of EEG with high spatial resolution of fMRI
• Applications– Event related potentials
– EEG-Triggered fMRI of Epilepsy
– Sleep
– Anesthesia

Combining EEG and fMRI• (A) fMRI regions of activation for 2 subjects. The fMRI activity was consistently localized to the
posterior portion of the calcarine sulcus.
• (B) Anatomically constrained EEG (aEEG). The cortical activity was localized along the entire length
of the calcarine sulcus.
• (C) Combined EEG/fMRI (fEEG). The localizations are similar to the fMRI results and
considerably more focal than the unconstrained EEG localizations

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Brain Activity following visual stimulation
![Page 34: Neural Signal Processing.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052310/55566011d8b42aa41e8b54ab/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Cortical activations changes over time
• Seven snapshots of the cortical activity movie, without and with fMRI constraint.
• The peaks of activity occur at the same time for both the EEG (alone) localization and the fMRI constrained localization.
• Spatial extent of the fMRI constrained EEG localization is more focal than the results based on EEG measurements alone.

Conclusion• Well Poised Question • Careful Experimental Design/Measurement
Techniques • Signal Processing Analysis Is An Important
Feature of Experimental Design, Data Acquisition and Analysis.
• Data Analysis Should Be Carried Out Within the Statistical Paradigm.
