    Area of Science:

    • Bioelectromagnetism
    • Computational neuroscience
    • Medical physics

    Background:

    • Finite element methods (FEM) are crucial for solving the electroencephalography (EEG) forward problem.
    • Existing methods, primarily continuous Galerkin FEM (CG-FEM), model complex geometries and conductivities but have limitations.
    • Accurate modeling is essential for interpreting EEG signals and understanding brain activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • Introduce and evaluate a novel mixed finite element method (Mixed-FEM) for the EEG forward problem.
    • Compare the performance of Mixed-FEM against established CG-FEM approaches.
    • Highlight the advantages of Mixed-FEM, particularly its current-preserving property.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a Mixed-FEM formulation by introducing electric current as an additional unknown alongside electric potential.
    • Derived the theoretical basis for the Mixed-FEM approach in EEG simulations.
    • Implemented algorithms to solve the resulting complex equation systems.

    Main Results:

    • Mixed-FEM demonstrated a 'current preserving' property, unlike CG-FEM.
    • Simulations in spherical and realistic head models showed comparable or superior accuracy to CG-FEM.
    • Higher accuracy was observed in scenarios with thin insulating structures, like the skull, near mesh resolution limits.

    Conclusions:

    • Mixed-FEM offers a valuable alternative or complement to CG-FEM for EEG forward problems.
    • The current-preserving nature of Mixed-FEM enhances simulation accuracy in specific challenging scenarios.
    • Further research into Mixed-FEM for bioelectromagnetism applications is warranted.
