1. An integrated brain-mapping system for simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG), wherein the system comprises:
an integrated radiofrequency (RF)-EEG cap comprising:
an EEG cap comprising a first layer of material containing a first plurality of holes that provide placeholders configured to receive EEG electrodes;
an RF cap comprising a second layer of material containing a second plurality of holes and a plurality of RF coils fixed onto the second layer of material; and
one or more fasteners configured to co-register the second plurality of holes to the first plurality of holes and to removably secure the RF cap to the EEG cap.
