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。这个 明确的目标是让我们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 通过脑磁图和功能磁共振成像在人脑对语言刺激的处理过程中。 具体地说，我们将给出简单的语言和非语言刺激 并使用功能磁共振成像和脑磁图来映射感觉(主要和 联想)和由刺激激活的语言区域。使用功能磁共振成像 为了识别高活跃度区域，可以使用空间信息作为 分析脑磁图数据时偶极子计算的可能源点。 到目前为止，我们已经收集了关于感觉刺激的数据，初始状态良好 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.
