Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Analysis approaches
When it comes to deciding on an appropriate data analysis approach in multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements, the soundest consideration factors ultimately depend on the research question at hand. Therefore, the analysis steps may vary from one study to another. Nonetheless, they can broadly be classified into two strategies: parallel data analysis and informed data analysis.
Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Experimental Design
Finding a suitable experimental design when performing multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements is an important step in every study. Read this blogpost to learn more about commonly used experimental designs and how those can be adopted in multimodal research.
Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Integration on the head
When simultaneously measuring fNIRS and EEG, placement of both devices should ideally ensure proper coverage of the desired measurement location, minimize interference and take into account (technical) characteristics and basic of both techniques. Read this blog post to learn more about relevance of these points and further recommendations for integrating fNIRS and EEG on one head.
Multimodal fNIRS-EEG measurements — Staying in sync
In this second blog post, we discuss synchronization in multimodality. When using fNIRS and EEG simultaneously, synchronization of both data streams is crucial to achieve temporal correspondence between both signals. Read this post to learn more about how to get to the ideal synchronization solution for you, which can depend on different factors, such as device specifications, software capabilities and experimental setup.
Introduction to multimodal fNIRS — EEG measurements
In this blog post, we give an introduction to multimodality and explain the hallmarks, advantages, and challenges of combining fNIRS and EEG to measure brain activity. This is the first part of a blog post series on multimodality fNIRS-EEG measurements.
