The EEG acquired simultaneously with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is distorted by a number of artefacts related to the presence of strong magnetic fields. In order to allow for a useful interpretation of the EEG data, it is necessary to reduce these artefacts. For the two most prominent artefacts, associated with magnetic field gradient switching and the heart beat, reduction methods have been developed and applied successfully. Due to their repetitive nature, such artefacts can be reduced by subtraction of the respective template retrieved by averaging across cycles. In this paper, we investigate additional artefacts related to the MR environment and propose a method for the reduction of the vibration artefact caused by the cryo-cooler compression pumps system. Data were collected from the EEG cap placed on an MR head phantom, in order to characterise the MR environment related artefacts. Since the vibration artefact was found to be repetitive, a template subtraction method was developed for its reduction, and this was then adjusted to meet the specific requirements of patient data. The developed methodology successfully reduced the vibration artefact by about 90% in five EEG-fMRI datasets collected from two epilepsy patients.
