EEG/MEG Source Imaging: Methods, Challenges, and Open Issues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the four key areas of research-preprocessing, the volume conductor, the forward problem, and the inverse problem-that affect the performance of EEG and MEG source imaging. In each key area we identify prominent approaches and methodologies that have open issues warranting further investigation within the community, challenges associated with certain techniques, and algorithms necessitating clarification of their implications. More than providing definitive answers we aim to identify important open issues in the quest of source localization.

Brainstorm: A User-Friendly Application for MEG/EEG Analysis
Brainstorm is a collaborative open-source application dedicated to magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) data visualization and processing, with an emphasis on cortical source estimation techniques and their integration with anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The primary objective of the software is to connect MEG/EEG neuroscience investigators with both t...
متن کاملA technique to consider mismatches between fMRI and EEG/MEG sources for fMRI-constrained EEG/MEG source imaging: a preliminary simulation study.
fMRI-constrained EEG/MEG source imaging can be a powerful tool in studying human brain functions with enhanced spatial and temporal resolutions. Recent studies on the combination of fMRI and EEG/MEG have suggested that fMRI prior information could be readily implemented by simply imposing different weighting factors to cortical sources overlapping with the fMRI activations. It has been also rep...
متن کاملA multiresolution framework to MEG/EEG source imaging
A new method based on a multiresolution approach for solving the ill-posed problem of brain electrical activity reconstruction from electroencephaloram (EEG)/magnetoencephalogram (MEG) signals is proposed in a distributed source model. At each step of the algorithm, a regularized solution to the inverse problem is used to constrain the source space on the cortical surface to be scanned at highe...
متن کاملA Review of Issues Related to Data Acquisition and Analysis in EEG/MEG Studies
Electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are non-invasive electrophysiological methods, which record electric potentials and magnetic fields due to electric currents in synchronously-active neurons. With MEG being more sensitive to neural activity from tangential currents and EEG being able to detect both radial and tangential sources, the two methods are complementary. Ove...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal analysis in functional brain imaging
Localizing sources of activity from electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) measurements involves solving an ill-posed inverse problem, where infinitely many source distribution patterns can give rise to identical measurements. This thesis aims to improve the accuracy of source localization by incorporating spatio-temporal models into the reconstruction procedure. First, w...
