The simultaneous acquisition of non-invasive human brain imaging techniques, including EEG, PET and fMRI can give insights into the connections between neuronal activity, receptor occupancy and function. However, standard dense-array EEG caps can cause artifacts in both MR and PET images, making simultaneous imaging a challenge. We thus designed a 256-electrode EEG cap based on conductive polymers, and demonstrate its superior performance in RF invisibility and reduced photon attenuation for the use of simultaneous EEG-PET/MR imaging.
