The study was intended to demonstrate how, within OMEGA, the localization of brain activation can be complemented by integrated analysis of human multimodal functional (MEG, fMRI) and anatomical (MRI) measurements. The OMEGA software provides an analysis platform for user-independent, fast, and reproducible multimodal analysis in one single software environment. The implementation of OMEGA allows the analyst to receive comprehensive MEG/fMRI results in a matter of minutes after the measurements have been completed. With OMEGA, the clinical researcher gets comprehensive information in a quick and standardized approach about the sites and the time course of neurological activation, which is useful for clinical applications and diagnostics.

Synergetic interactions pursued between the two functional imaging techniques fMRI and MEG use the morphological MRI recording as a basis for a common coordinate frame. In this way, direct interchange, comparison, and integration among the results of the different modalities have become feasible. The fMRI data analysis provides information about the localization of functional activity with low temporal resolution, whereas the MEG recording complements the corresponding time evolution with a high temporal resolution. The implementation of OMEGA allows the analyst to receive comprehensive MEG/fMRI results in a matter of minutes after the measurements have been completed. With OMEGA, the clinical researcher gets comprehensive information in a quick and standardized approach about the sites and the time course of neurological activation, which is useful for clinical applications and diagnostics.
