Preliminary results on the fusion of diffusion MRI and EEG
Diffusion MRI can recover white matter fibre bundles, but it is blind to their directionality and their contribution to functional data. We propose to identify the directionality of white matter fibre bundles by combining diffusion MRI and EEG data. Based on a realistic model of the brain and simulated EEG data, our preliminary results show that our proposed method is able to differentiate between afferent and efferent white matter connections. In addition, this combination of structural and functional information allows us to track information flow in the white matter.
