摘要：A relationship between the brain rhythmic activity and the hemodynamic response was studied using the simultaneous measurement of electroencephalogram (EEG) and the functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during a motor task (self-paced right finger movements) for 10 subjects. An EEG recording with a 32-electrode (10-10) system was made and the hemodynamic response was obtained using 8 optodes placed over the sensorimotor cortex on both hemispheres. During the task an increase in oxyhemoglobine (HbO) was accompanied by a decrease in deoxyhemoglobine (HbR) concentration and a decrease in amplitudes (desynchronisation) of alpha (8-13 Hz) and beta (13-30 Hz) EEG rhythms. These phenomena were prominent in the hemisphere contralateral to the moving finger. The delays between the hemodynamic and electrophysiological variables were on average 2.8 s. Highly significant (p < 0.0001) negative Pearson correlations were found between HbO and alpha (r2 = -0.69) and HbO and beta (r2 = -0.54) rhythms. Positive correlations r2 = 0.5 between these rhythms and HbR were found.
