Summary
• EEG has been increasingly becoming a primary neuroimaging research
1st and 2nd by Publication tool than other imagining modalities.
volumes • Brain researches are more focusing on network studies than focusing
on a focal area. AI supported big data analysis become the multiplier in
this trend.
modality: EEG and fMRI
analytic method: network, AI • Epilepsy and sleep researches still dominate the most clinical EEG
research publications, given the natural advantages of EEG in these
research fields: epilepsy and sleep
studies.
brain regions or AOIs: motor, frontal
multi-model: fMRI-EEG, TMS-EEG • Motor and frontal, one reflects the key AIO for physical rehabilitation,
the other for actions and emotional memory regulations remain the
TMS slightly > TES primary area of interest for brain researches.

• TMS is slightly leading in term of publication volume than TES
