Background:

Accurate 3-D head modeling is crucial for simulating bioelectric phenomena.
Realistic head models must account for the anisotropic properties of biological tissues.
Current methods may not fully capture tissue anisotropy in head modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel finite-difference method (FDM) for head modeling that incorporates tissue anisotropy.
To derive patient-specific head models directly from clinical images.
To validate the proposed FDM formulation against analytical solutions and assess its performance.

Main Methods:

A new finite-difference method (FDM) formulation was developed to handle anisotropic head tissues.

Head models were generated directly from patient-specific clinical images.

Validation involved comparing numerical results with analytical solutions using a multi-shell anisotropic head model and analyzing grid refinement and EEG source characteristics.

Main Results:

The proposed FDM formulation successfully accounts for the anisotropy of head tissues.
Validation demonstrated good performance by comparing numerical results with known analytical solutions.
Analysis showed the method's effectiveness across different grid refinements and EEG source characteristics.

Conclusions:

The new FDM method provides an accurate and realistic representation of the head's volume conductor, including tissue anisotropy.
This approach improves the simulation of bioelectric phenomena and the estimation of bioelectric activity.
The method shows good performance compared to existing FDM techniques for anisotropic head modeling.
