In simultaneous EEG-fMRI, cardioballistic (BCG) artifact removal algorithms require the detection of artifact occurrence time to form subtraction template for artifact correction. The artifact occurrence time can be estimated by an average delay following the R-peak of electrocardiogram (ECG) recording, or directly measured from the BCG component in the EEG data. Here we compared the BCG artifact waveform evaluated by artifact cycles measured from the BCG and ECG data. We found that direct BCG cycle detection from EEG data provides better BCG waveform for the artifact correction and eliminates the need for independent ECG recording.
