    Investigating conductivity models for electroencephalogram (EEG) source localization, this study found specific skull models significantly reduce dipole localization error. The 10-10 electrode system also improves accuracy but increases computational load.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Neuroscience
    • Computational Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Accurate electroencephalogram (EEG) source localization is crucial for understanding brain activity.
    • The conductivity of biological tissues, particularly the skull and white matter, significantly impacts EEG signal interpretation.
    • Current models often simplify tissue conductivity, potentially limiting localization precision.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the impact of various conductivity models (isotropic and anisotropic) for white matter and skull on EEG source localization accuracy.
    • To compare the performance of different skull conductivity models in minimizing dipole localization and orientation errors.
    • To evaluate the influence of electrode configurations on localization accuracy and computational cost.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the anisotropic finite difference reciprocity method to solve the EEG forward problem.
    • Investigated five distinct spherical conductivity models for white matter and skull, incorporating both isotropic and anisotropic properties.
    • Evaluated dipole localization/orientation error using a numeric skull conductivity model.
    • Compared the 10-20 and 10-10 electrode systems.

    Main Results:

    • Two skull conductivity models achieved the lowest dipole localization error (< 6 mm): a single anisotropic layer and a three-layer isotropic model (hard bone/spongy bone/hard bone).
    • The 10-10 electrode configuration demonstrated a near twofold reduction in localization error compared to the 10-20 system.
    • Increased accuracy with the 10-10 system came at a significantly higher computational cost.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of skull conductivity model critically influences EEG source localization precision.
    • Anisotropic and multi-layered isotropic skull models offer superior accuracy over simpler models.
    • While the 10-10 electrode system enhances accuracy, its computational demands require consideration for practical applications.
