“…EEG measures the sum of extracellular currents generated by the synchronous activity of large populations of neurons, using electrodes attached to the subject's scalp (Schomer and da Silva, 2011), while fMRI quantifies changes in cerebral blood oxygenation, blood flow and blood volume that result from neurovascular coupling responses mediated by astrocytes, blood vessels, and neurons and therefore, represents an indirect correlate of neuronal activity (Huettel et al, 2004;Figley and Stroman, 2011). Simultaneous EEG-fMRI recording aims to better understand the complex dynamics underlying brain function by combining EEG's temporal resolution and fMRI's spatial resolution (Mulert and Lemieux, 2010;Scrivener, 2021;Ebrahimzadeh et al, 2022). Simultaneous EEG-fMRI also opens the possibility of directly studying interactions between electrophysiological and hemodynamic responses (Jorge et al, 2014) which cannot be achieved when signals are recorded independently (Mulert and Lemieux, 2010;Jorge et al, 2014;Ebrahimzadeh et al, 2022).…”
