High-performance computing (HPC) enables efficient electroencephalography (EEG) forward problem solutions using high-resolution head models. A cluster of 8 processors provides a cost-effective solution with computation times under 2 minutes.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Science
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Solving the electroencephalography (EEG) forward problem requires realistic head models.
  • High-resolution models (over 2 million elements) are computationally intensive, limiting practical application.
  • Existing methods face challenges with computation time and memory requirements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the use of high-performance computing (HPC) for efficient EEG forward problem solutions.
  • To enable the use of high-resolution head models (over 2 million elements) in EEG analysis.
  • To reduce computation time and memory demands for realistic head models.

Main Methods:

  • A finite difference method was employed for the EEG forward problem.
