Background:

High-density Electroencephalography (HD-EEG) offers superior neural activity estimation.
Current electrode configurations are often manually selected, not optimized for accuracy.
The impact of electrode number on source localization accuracy is a key research area.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the minimum number of electrodes for accurate neural source localization.
To identify optimal electrode combinations that maintain HD-EEG accuracy.
To evaluate the performance of low-density EEG systems using optimized configurations.

Main Methods:

An optimization-based study using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II).
Formulated a multi-objective optimization problem minimizing localization error and electrode count.
Incorporated scalp landmark positions for electrode selection and evaluated on synthetic and real EEG data.

Main Results:

Optimal subsets of 6 electrodes achieved equal or better accuracy than HD-EEG for single-source localization in over 88% of synthetic cases.
For multiple sources, optimized subsets of 8, 12, and 16 electrodes outperformed HD-EEG (231 channels) in at least 58%, 76%, and 82% of cases, respectively.
Optimized configurations demonstrated lower mean errors and standard deviations compared to full HD-EEG.

Conclusions:

Minimal electrode subsets can achieve high-accuracy neural source localization.
Optimization-based electrode selection offers a viable approach for evaluating low-density EEG systems.
This method enables accurate brain activity reconstruction with significantly fewer electrodes than traditional HD-EEG.
