This review details brain source localization methods using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). It explains theoretical underpinnings and practical applications, including a new ELECTRA method for improved EEG analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biophysics
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Multichannel electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are crucial for localizing brain's electrical sources.
  • Distributed source estimation methods are increasingly used, necessitating understanding of their theoretical and practical aspects.

Observation:

  • This review elucidates the electromagnetic inverse problem and linear inverse solutions, emphasizing resolution kernels and regularization for noise minimization.
  • A novel inverse solution, ELECTRA (ELECTRical Analysis), is introduced, constraining source models using measurable EEG currents.
  • Practical considerations for real-world data include handling noisy, limited electrode data, selecting critical time points, and integrating multimodal information.

Findings:

  • The theoretical section details algorithmic bases, a priori assumptions, and linear inverse solutions characterized by resolution kernels.
