COMBINED STUDIES LANGUAGE RELATED FUNCTIONAL EVENTS IN HUMAN BRAIN BY MEG & FMRI

这是1997年初开始的一个新的合作项目。 的 我们的具体目标是进一步了解大脑如何代表 语言;我们将整合获得的空间和时间信息 脑磁图和功能性磁共振成像在人类大脑处理语言刺激过程中的作用。 具体来说，我们将给予简单的语言和非语言刺激， 并使用fMRI和MEG来映射感觉（初级和 联想）和语言区激活的刺激。 使用fMRI 为了确定高活动区域，空间信息可用作 在分析MEG数据时进行偶极计算的可能震源位置。 到目前为止，我们已经收集了关于感觉刺激的数据， 成功

This is a new collaborative project started in early 1997. The specific aim is to our advance knowledge of how the brain represents language; we will integrate spatial and temporal information obtained by MEG and fMRI during human brain processing of linguistic stimuli. Specifically, we will give simple linguistic and nonlinguistic stimuli to subjects, and use fMRI and MEG to map sensory (primary and association) and language areas activated by the stimuli. Using fMRI to identify areas of high activity, spatial information can be used as possible source sites for dipole calculations in analyzing MEG data. So far we have collected data on sensory stimuli with good initial success.
