Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Neuroscience

Background:

  • Accurate human head models are crucial for electroencephalography (EEG) source localization.
  • Existing methods often lack comprehensive discretization of subcortical brain structures.
  • Modeling errors can significantly impact the sensitivity of non-invasive source localization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an automated, adaptable finite element (FE) mesh generation tool for multi-compartment human head models.
  • To enhance the accuracy of EEG source localization by improving mesh quality.
  • To address the lack of open software pipelines for discretizing complex brain structures in EEG studies.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an automated approach using recursive solid angle labeling of surface segmentation.
  • Incorporated mesh smoothing, refinement, inflation, and optimization procedures.
  • Applied the technique to a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based head segmentation including subcortical structures.

Main Results:

  • Successfully produced an unstructured, boundary-fitted tetrahedral mesh with sub-one-millimeter fitting error.
  • Achieved desired accuracy for 3D anatomical details, EEG lead field matrix, and source localization.
  • The mesh generator was implemented in the open MATLAB-based Zeffiro Interface toolbox with GPU acceleration.

Conclusions:

  • The automated mesh generation approach provides an accurate and adaptable tool for EEG studies.
  • This method enhances the reliability of non-invasive source localization, particularly for subcortical regions.
  • The integration into an open-source toolbox promotes wider accessibility and application in EEG research.
