[Application of boundary element method for more accurate localization of EEG dipole sources]

The proposed modification of boundary element method (BEM) makes it possible to solve direct EEG problem taking into account individual head geometry. This modification decreases computational cost thus enabling practical usage of BEM for localization of EEG dipole sources. The method developed was applied for error estimation of dipole localization using spherical approximation with the aid of BESA software. It was shown that the localization error of BESA for real head geometry could reach 2 cm.
