Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Accurate electroencephalogram (EEG) source analysis requires realistic head models.
  • Current realistic head models often use the finite element method (FEM), which presents challenges with complex meshes and segmentation.
  • High-resolution (1 mm3 voxel) electrical head models are highly desirable for improved accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a finite volume method (FVM) formulation for realistic head models.
  • To overcome limitations associated with FEM-based head modeling.
  • To develop a physically intuitive and easily implementable method for high-resolution head modeling.

Main Methods:

  • Formulation of a realistic head model using the finite volume method (FVM).
