Background:

Electroencephalogram (EEG) measures scalp electrical activity, reflecting brain function.
Identifying precise brain source regions from scalp EEG data is challenging.
EEG source localization accuracy depends heavily on head modeling and inverse solvers.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate advanced head models for improved EEG source localization.
To investigate the impact of accurate tissue conductivity modeling, particularly cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
To introduce a segmentation-free conductivity model using deep learning.

Main Methods:

Utilized high-resolution (0.5 mm) head models accounting for thin tissues like CSF and dura.
Developed a deep learning-based, segmentation-free model for spatially dependent conductivity.
Employed a multi-grid finite-difference method (FDM) for forward problems.
Applied a sparse-based algorithm to solve the inverse problem for source localization.

Main Results:

Segmentation-free models reduce source localization errors caused by abrupt conductivity changes.
Accurate modeling of CSF conductivity is crucial for precise EEG source localization.
The proposed method demonstrates robustness across various noise levels and electrode configurations.

Conclusions:

Deep learning-driven, segmentation-free head models offer a more realistic and accurate approach to EEG source localization.
Accurate representation of tissue electrical properties, especially CSF, is vital for reliable brain activity mapping.
The developed method provides efficient and robust EEG source localization with reasonable computational cost.
