    Area of Science:

    • Biophysics
    • Neuroscience
    • Computational Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • The electroencephalography (EEG) forward problem is crucial for understanding brain activity.
    • Existing models often use simplified head geometries and lower-order harmonic approximations.
    • Accurate modeling of head geometry and source localization is essential for reliable EEG interpretation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel solution for the EEG forward problem using a four-shell ellipsoidal head model.
    • To incorporate higher-order (fourth-order) ellipsoidal harmonics for improved accuracy.
    • To compare the performance of the fourth-order solution against lower-order approximations and a boundary element method (BEM) reference.

    Main Methods:

    • Modeling head geometry with a four-shell ellipsoidal structure.
    • Solving the EEG forward problem using an equivalent current dipole (ECD) source model.
    • Implementing a solution incorporating up to fourth-order ellipsoidal harmonics.
    • Comparing results against second- and third-order harmonic solutions and a BEM-based reference.

    Main Results:

    • The fourth-order ellipsoidal harmonic solution demonstrates superior accuracy in estimating scalp electric potentials compared to second- and third-order approximations.
    • The proposed method shows improved accuracy in solving the inverse problem for estimating equivalent current dipole (ECD) magnitude.
    • The fourth-order solution offers a more precise estimation of brain source activity.

    Conclusions:

    • Fourth-order ellipsoidal harmonics provide a more accurate solution to the EEG forward problem for ellipsoidal head models.
    • This enhanced accuracy extends to the inverse problem of localizing and quantifying brain sources.
    • The findings suggest that higher-order harmonic expansions are beneficial for precise EEG source analysis.
