In the non-invasive brain research, time resolution and spatial resolution are important factors. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are the major recording means of brain activity. MEG measures brain activity with high temporal resolution , but its spatial resolution is poor, while fMRI records brain activity with high spatial resolution, but its temporal resolution is poor. Sato et.al presented a hierarchical Bayesian current estimation method (VBMEG) that combines MEG and fMRI. The main characteristic of VBMEG is that fMRI information is imposed as prior information on the variance distribution so that it gives a soft constraint on the variance. Simulation results indicate that VBMEG has better accuracy and spatial resolution than the conventional source current estimations. However, VBMEG has not been fully tested with real experimental data. In this study, in order to verify effectiveness and accuracy of VBMEG, we performed VBMEG analysis of MEG and fMRI data obtained while subjects executed voluntary right index finger movements. VBMEG results indicate that the estimated currents in the motor area and somatosensory area showed clear peaks at about 30ms and 120ms respectively. We also demonstrate that the performance of VBMEG is better than conventional methods (Minimum Norm , LORETA , Wiener) using same data. |
