Abstract:
Electroencephalography (EEG) provides no direct link between electrode positions and underlying signal generators. Inferences based on spatial proximity between scalp positions and cortical structures are not reliable. More accurate source localization is obtained by solving both the forward and the inverse problem, but is technically challenging. In this paper, we provide a reference table of correspondence between EEG sensors and cortical anatomical regions based on a realistic head model. We also present a universal algorithm to compute the solution by using a forward model to determine the sensitivity for electrodes of any defined electrode positioning system and cortical anatomical parcellation.

Conserved Binding Sites
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...
Anatomy of the Brain: Major Regions
The cerebrum is the largest section of the brain and divides into left and right hemispheres, separated by a deep fissure. The cerebral outer layer of grey matter — the cerebral cortex — comprises elevations called gyri and shallow groves called sulci. The inner portion of white matter includes long nerve fibers known as axons, which connect...
Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
