Background:

The Multiple Sparse Priors (MSP) algorithm in Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) is used for electroencephalography (EEG) source reconstruction.
Current MSP implementations utilize cortical patches as source priors, limiting reconstruction to the cortical surface.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a novel technique for constructing volumetric cortical regions as source priors for MSP.
To enable reconstruction of brain structures beyond the cortical surface and utilize more realistic volumetric head models.

Main Methods:

A region-growing approach was used to create volumetric cortical regions from segmented gray matter.
Dipole source space was restricted to the gray matter layer for MSP inversion.
Two head models were compared: standard 3-layered (scalp-skull-brain) and extended 4-layered (including CSF).
Bayesian model selection was employed to compare reconstructions based on free energy.

Main Results:

The volumetric MSP approach demonstrated strong evidence over the cortical patch method for both head model types.
The extended 4-layered head model including CSF yielded the strongest evidence for volumetric MSP reconstructions.
Reconstructed activity verified the superiority of the volumetric approach.

Conclusions:

Volumetric cortical regions serve as effective source priors for MSP, enhancing EEG source reconstruction.
This extension facilitates the use of more complex head models and volumetric priors in future research.
The proposed method offers a valuable complement to existing MSP implementations for detailed brain activity mapping.
