SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED EEG - FUNCTIONAL MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGE DATA ACQUISITION

摘要

The present invention relates to a system (10) for functional magnetic resonance image data acquisition. The system comprises an input unit (20), a magnetic resonance imaging "MRI" device (30), an electroencephalography "EEG" data acquisition device (40), and a processing unit (50). The input unit is configured to provide task based information to a patient, wherein the task based information extends over a period of time. The MRI device is configured to acquire functional magnetic resonance imaging "fMRI" data relating to brain activity of the patient, wherein the fMRI data extends over the period of time. The EEG device is configured to acquire EEG data relating to electrical activity of the brain of the patient, wherein the EEG data extends over the period of time. The processing unit is configured to utilize the task based information that extends over the period of time and the EEG data that extends over the period of time to determine at least one first sub-set period of time over the period of time. The processing unit is configured to determine an action associated with acquisition of the fMRI data over the at least one first sub-set period of time.
