Usefulness of simultaneous EEG–NIRS recording in language studies

Neurovascular Interactions in the Neurologically Compromised Neonatal Brain

“…Similar conclusions are also reported in the neurovascular models studies using fMRI-EEG [27,28], where the neuronal signals (MUA, LFP, ERP) are said to be transient and the BOLD response is much prolonged [29]. But in comparison to fMRI, DOT allows measurement of both HbO and HbR and in turn can be used to reflect blood volume changes [30]. For multimodal acquisition with EEG, DOT and fMRI provide localised spatial resolution and complement the neuronal information of the EEG.…”

Comparison of Cortical Activation During Real Walking and Mental Imagery of Walking - The Possibility of Quickening Walking Rehabilitation by Mental Imaginary of Walking

“…We need another method to find out how the other neural systems, such as cerebellum, the spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system, involve in mental imaginary of walking. Recently, a lot of studies which combined fNIRS with EEG (Wallois et al, 2011;Fazli et al, 2011) or fMRI with EEG (Horovitz et al, 2008;Mantini et al, 2010) have been reported. These combinations enable to make the best use of the advantages of each technology.…”

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

“…Since electrical and hemodynamic changes involve subtle, complex mechanisms, EEG-fNIRS coregistration is a promising approach to study language related, neural and cerebral functional activity (Wallois et al, 2011). NIRS combined with video EEG is a promising upcoming development for the evaluation of epileptic patients.…”

“…Integration of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or electroencephalography (EEG) with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has the potential to monitor neuronal and vascular response and provide new insights into the origin and development of cortical activation (Torricelli et al, 2011;Wallois et al, 2011).…”
