The brain-research methods used in this study differ in their ability to separate sources in time and space. Logically, a combination of two methods, one with high temporal and another with high spatial resolution, should be used to obtain the desired
spa-tiotemporal accuracy. Although this idea is appealing, there are several problems in-volved in the combined use of the methods.
With EEG and MEG, the separation of adjacent sources that are activated at about the same time is difficult. The obvious solution would be to measure the location of the active brain areas using fMRI, which has a good spatial resolution, and then to use these locations to restrict the electromagnetic source model that would reveal the temporal dynamics of the response. However, it is not exactly known how the hemodynamic (slow) and electromagnetic (fast) responses correspond to each other. Although the BOLD-response, or at least some components of it, seems to correspond to the observable electric activity (Vanzetta and Grinvald 1999; Grinvald et al. 2000; Logothetis et al.
2001), the results obtained with fMRI and EEG/MEG may have only partially over-lapping sources (Liu et al. 1998). It has been suggested that the electric and magnetic evoked responses are actually compounds of the superposition of different oscillatory responses (Karakas et al. 2000). Therefore, it may be possible that an analysis of sources of these oscillatory responses would yield results that correspond better to those obtained with fMRI.
To achieve a measure of the auditory change-detection mechanism with high spatiotem-poral resolution, it appears that the combination of EEG and fMRI is preferable, as MEG does not seem to detect the frontal activation. However, for a refined spatiotem-poral EEG analysis, it is necessary to further improve the quality and spatial resolution of the EEG signal. First, the design of the experimental setup should be optimized so that the highest possible signal quality is achieved. Second, accurate anatomical infor-mation should be used to model the head and brain structures and to constraint the source-current parameters. To benefit from the use of such constraints, it is necessary to accurately overlay the electric measurements and anatomic information from MRI. A common procedure is to use a 3-D digitizer to measure the EEG-electrode position with respect to three anatomical landmarks which can be identified on the MRI. This procedure appears to be error-prone as the 3-D digitizers are easily affected by mag-netic artefacts (computer screens, metal objects) and because it is often difficult to accurately define the anatomical landmarks from the head and MRI. Third, the head models should be improved. Head-modeling errors such as ignoring the high-conduc-tivity compartment formed by the ventricular system and under-estimating the skull conductivity produce considerable errors in dipole localization (Vanrumste et al. 2000).
According to a recent study (Oostendorp et al. 2000), the relative skull conductivity (1, 1/80, 1 for skin, skull, and liquid, respectively) used in present Studies I and III (and in many others) is considerably underestimated (1, 1/15, 1, respectively, is instead sug-gested). Finally, a physiologically constrained continuous current model constructed so that the locations indicated by fMRI are given higher weights than the other locations might be a natural way to deal with the not fully known correspondence between hemody-namic and electromagnetic sources (Liu et al. 1998; Wagner et al. 1998; Dale et al. 2000).
