Background:

Electroencephalography (EEG) offers high temporal but low spatial resolution of brain activity.
Solving the EEG inverse problem is crucial for understanding spatial dynamics but is ill-posed.
Previous artificial neural network approaches were limited to one or two dipole sources.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce ConvDip, a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture for solving the EEG inverse problem.
To evaluate ConvDip's performance in a distributed dipole model using simulated EEG data.
To demonstrate ConvDip's potential for clinical applications and real-time source localization.

Main Methods:

Developed a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture named ConvDip.
Trained and tested ConvDip using simulated electroencephalography (EEG) data.
Compared ConvDip's performance against state-of-the-art methods for EEG source localization.

Main Results:

ConvDip successfully generated inverse solutions from single time points of EEG data.
ConvDip outperformed existing methods in accuracy and efficiency for EEG source localization.
The network demonstrated flexibility with varying numbers of sources, reduced ghost sources, and missed fewer real sources.
ConvDip produced plausible inverse solutions for real human EEG recordings and achieved prediction times under 40 ms.

Conclusions:

ConvDip is an efficient and user-friendly method for EEG source localization.
The findings highlight ConvDip's high relevance for clinical applications, such as epileptology and real-time analysis.
ConvDip advances the capability to solve the EEG inverse problem in distributed dipole models.
