In the developing animal brain, different patterns of neural activity have distinct roles in the establishment of brain networks at different scales. Although studies suggest that the human preterm period is a crucial time for establishing brain connectivity, the role of different frequencies of neural activity has not been studied. We therefore used simultaneous EEG-fMRI and a robotic somatosensory stimulus to study the temporal and spatial characteristics of evoked neural activity in a group of preterm infants. Specific types of neural activity were associated with different BOLD responses, suggesting that these methods offer new insights into developing brain activity.
