EEG Source Localization Using the Inverse Problem Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
An Electroencephalography (EEG) inverse solution technique can be seen as a way to add spatial information to extra-cranial measurements. In other words, it is a mathematical/physical way to expand the dimensionality of scalp measurements so as to embed intra-cranial spatial information. This paper presents the new sLORETA-FOCUSS approach estimating the current density distribution in the brain. A comparative study of the sLORETA, FOCUSS, sLORETA-FOCUSS and its recursive version is also performed using the ROC curve analysis. The results demonstrate that the recursive sLORETA-FOCUSS method gives good solutions in terms of localization error, simulation time, and reconstruction precision in 3D.

Combination of Beamforming and Synchronization Methods for Epileptic Source Localization, using Simulated EEG Signals
Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...
متن کاملEEG source localization: Sensor density and head surface coverage
BACKGROUND The accuracy of EEG source localization depends on a sufficient sampling of the surface potential field, an accurate conducting volume estimation (head model), and a suitable and well-understood inverse technique. The goal of the present study is to examine the effect of sampling density and coverage on the ability to accurately localize sources, using common linear inverse weight te...

متن کاملEvaluation of inverse methods and head models for EEG source localization using a human skull phantom.
We used a real-skull phantom head to investigate the performances of representative methods for EEG source localization when considering various head models. We describe several experiments using a montage with current sources located at multiple positions and orientations inside a human skull filled with a conductive medium. The robustness of selected methods based on distributed source models...
متن کاملEEG inverse problem solution with minimal influence of the conductivity
In this paper, we propose a novel method that improves the accuracy of the estimation of neural electrical dipoles when solving the EEG inverse problem. A spherical head model is used where we limit the influence of the unknown conductivity brain-skull ratio on the inverse problem. We redefine the cost function that is used in the EEG problem where only useful information is used as input in th...
