Simultaneous EEG-FMRI data acquisition provides an opportunity for characterization of magnetic field dynamics during imaging, by leveraging the information contained in the EEG induced gradient artefacts. Using a simple effective loop model, we reduce the complex EEG electrode geometry to small effective loops located at off-isocentre positions, which we use to fit first order (linear in space) models of the magnetic field rate of change. From these, estimates of the actual field dynamics, and trajectory/encoding information can be derived at no cost. In this proof-of-principle, we demonstrate estimation of gradient dynamics during a conventional EPI acquisition using simultaneous EEG recordings.
