Abstract

ALDANA RAMIREZ, César Augusto  and  BUITRAGO BOLIVAR, Elías. Current Status of simultaneous EEG-fMRI research applied to epilepsy and pain study. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.1, pp. 29-47. ISSN 0864-0300.

Recent advances in neuroimaging techniques have contributed in functional dynamics comprehension of the brain. Specially, the simultaneous studies of EEG-fMRI have provided valuable information, by studying that brain dynamics from two points of view: bioelectricity and hemodynamics. In this paper, we review the technique, the required hardware and the methods of analysis. The main drawbacks and achievements obtained in the study of epilepsy and pain are presented, as well.

Keywords : Epilepsy; neuroimaging; EEG-fMRI; pain.
