  • Title: Hemodynamic and electroencephalographic responses to illusory figures: recording of the evoked potentials during functional MRI.
    Author: Kruggel F, Herrmann CS, Wiggins CJ, von Cramon DY.
    Journal: Neuroimage; 2001 Dec; 14(6):1327-36. PubMed ID: 11707088.
    Abstract:
    The feasibility of recording event-related potentials (ERP) during functional MRI (fMRI) scanning using higher level cognitive stimuli was studied. Using responses to illusory figures in a visual oddball task, evoked potentials were obtained with their expected configurations and latencies. A rapid stimulation scheme using randomly varied trial lengths was employed, and class-wise characteristics of the hemodynamic response were obtained by a nonlinear analysis of the fMRI time series. Implications and limitations of conducting combined ERP-fMRI experiments using higher level cognitive stimuli are discussed. EEG/fMRI results revealed a sequential activation of striate and extrastriate occipital cortex along the ventral path of object processing for Kanizsa figures. Interestingly, Kanizsa figures activated the human motion area MT. Targets resulted in activations of frontal and parietal cortex which were not activated for standard stimuli.
