Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography (M/EEG) source reconstruction is an ill-posed problem requiring plausible assumptions for accurate results.
  • Existing M/EEG source reconstruction methods rely on different assumptions, leading to subjectively plausible but not objectively verifiable current estimates.
  • There is a need for an objective method to rigorously test and compare various M/EEG analysis pathways.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an objective method for evaluating the performance of any M/EEG source reconstruction pathway.
  • To assess how anatomical variations influence the accuracy of M/EEG source reconstruction.
  • To quantify the performance of M/EEG source reconstruction algorithms in terms of anatomical distortion.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized advances in diffeomorphic brain shape modeling to create parametrically deformable cortical surfaces representing population variability.
  • Generated 'surrogate' brains with quantifiable parametric distortion from ground-truth anatomy.
  • Simulated M/EEG data and used empirical data to demonstrate how anatomical accuracy affects reconstruction assumptions and performance.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated that the accuracy of M/EEG source reconstruction assumptions is critically dependent on the true underlying anatomy.
  • Showed that M/EEG current estimates should ideally be selective of the true cortical anatomy.
  • Presented a novel method to quantify M/EEG source reconstruction algorithm performance using millimeters of anatomical distortion.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed objective method allows for rigorous testing of M/EEG source reconstruction pathways.
  • Anatomical fidelity is a crucial factor in achieving accurate M/EEG source localization.
  • This work provides a quantitative framework for assessing the reliability of M/EEG source reconstruction algorithms.
