1. A system, comprising:
- a data collection mechanism including a plurality of modalities operable to obtain response data from a subject exposed to stimulus material including marketing and entertainment stimulus material, the response data comprising electroencephalography (EEG) response data and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) response data;
a filter connected to the data collection mechanism operable to remove cross-modality interference from the EEG response data and the fMRI response data;
a cross-modality response synthesizer operable to analyze EEG response data and fMRI response data to evaluate effectiveness of the stimulus material, wherein EEG response data is combined with fMRI response data.

Abstract
Neuro-response data including Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is filtered, analyzed, and combined to evaluate the effectiveness of stimulus materials such as marketing and entertainment materials. A data collection mechanism including multiple modalities such as, Electroencephalography (EEG), Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), Electrooculography (EOG), Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), etc., collects response data from subjects exposed to marketing and entertainment stimuli. A data cleanser mechanism filters the response data and removes cross-modality interference.
