EMSE
Conventional neuroimaging such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can answer the where question with high spatial resolution, but the when question only with very low temporal resolution. Electroencephalography (EEG) and the closely allied Event-Related Potentials (ERP’s) can tell you when something happened with an accuracy of thousandths of a second, but isn’t very good at the where questions. The EMSE software combines MRI and EEG to answer both when and where in a way that neither method can answer alone. We call this process multimodal dynamic functional brain imaging or source estimation.
