This study introduces a new framework for analyzing electroencephalography (EEG) signals, improving the accuracy and precision of mapping brain activity centers over time. The method offers a robust way to track electrical brain activity for various applications.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Accurate localization of cortical electrical activity is crucial for understanding brain function.
  • Traditional electroencephalography (EEG) source reconstruction methods face challenges in precision and real-time tracking.
  • Advanced modeling techniques are needed to improve the spatial resolution of EEG-based brain activity mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel framework for cortical current source reconstruction using EEG signals.
  • To develop a method for extracting the center and magnitude of electrical brain activity.
  • To provide a real-time estimation and tracking of cortical activity centers.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized high-resolution EEG recordings and a subject-specific MRI-based electromagnetic boundary element method (BEM) model.
