Recordings of eye movements for stimulus control during fMRI by means of electro‐oculographic methods

A method for monitoring eye movements in humans during functional MRI is presented. It is based on the acquisition of electro‐oculographic (EOG) signals near one eye. EOG potentials were amplified and converted into an optical signal just outside the head coil. An optical fiber was used for signal transmission from inside the magnet bore to the control room. The EOG sensor was tested during EPI sequences at 1.5 Tesla without contamination of the MR signal. Some flow related artifacts on the EOG were observed inside the magnet, but no additional interactions from the MR sequence. An analysis of the latency, direction, and amplitude of the saccadic eye movements was possible.
