Size of the spatial correlation between ECoG and fMRI activity.

ABSTRACT: Electrocorticography (ECoG) is typically employed to accurately identify the seizure focus as well as the location of brain functions to be spared during surgical resection in participants with drug-resistant epilepsy. Increasingly, this technique has become a powerful tool to map cognitive functions onto brain regions. Cortical mapping is more commonly investigated with functional MRI (fMRI), which measures blood-oxygen level dependent (BOLD) changes induced by neuronal activity. The multimodal integration between typical 3T fMRI activity maps and ECoG measurements can provide unique insight into the spatiotemporal aspects of cognition. However, the optimal integration of fMRI and ECoG requires fundamental insight into the spatial smoothness of the BOLD signal under each electrode. Here w
