在进行神经功能成像研究时，不同的模式提供了截然不同和互补的数据，同时也带来了各自的优势和劣势。例如，使用脑电(EEG)，就有可能以非常高的时间分辨率研究大脑功能。然而，有问题的是，当试图确定产生观察到的反应的大脑来源时，EEG的准确性很差。相比之下，功能磁共振成像(FMRI)提供了关于大脑哪些区域被激活的极其准确的信息，但会在1-2秒的时间内“涂抹”大脑活动。通过结合这些技术的信息，有可能获得大脑活动在时间和空间上的高度准确的图像。

When performing functional neuroimaging research, differing modalities provide quite different and complimentary data, while also bring respective strengths and weaknesses. For example, using electroencephalography (EEG), it is possible to study brain function with very high temporal resolution. Problematically, however, EEG has poor accuracy when attempting to determine the brain sources that produce the observed response. By contrast, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides extremely accurate information about which brain regions are activated, but "smears" brain activity across 1-2 seconds of time. By combining the information from these technologies, it is possible to obtain a highly accurate picture of brain activity in both time and space.
