Plane Electromagnetic Waves II

Plane Electromagnetic Waves II

Consider a plane wavefront traveling in position x-direction with a constant speed. This wavefront can be utilized to obtain the relationship between electric and magnetic fields with the help of Faraday's law.

Background:

* Traditional inverse source problems in electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) rely on lead fields.
* Calculating lead fields for complex geometries often requires computationally expensive numerical methods using point dipoles.
* Existing methods face limitations due to fixed source space models and high computational costs.

Purpose of the Study:

* To derive general EEG and MEG sensor-based lead field equations.
* To provide a comprehensive review of explicit lead field equations within a simplified framework.
* To extend lead field calculations to accommodate non-pointlike sensors.

Main Methods:

* Application of the adjoint method to derive sensor-based lead field equations.
* Development of a generalized framework for EEG and MEG lead field computation.
* Extension of lead field equations beyond point source approximations.

Main Results:

* Derivation of novel, general EEG and MEG sensor-based lead field equations.
* A unified review of explicit lead field equations is presented.
* The derived equations are successfully extended to handle non-pointlike sensors.

Conclusions:

* The sensor-based approach offers a more efficient and flexible alternative for lead field computation in EEG/MEG.
* This method bypasses the limitations associated with traditional source-based dipole models.
* The findings facilitate more accurate and adaptable inverse source analysis in neuroimaging.
