This review covers quantitative electroencephalography (EEG) source localization methods. Multiple time-slice localization is highlighted as a leading technique for accurately mapping brain activity.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biophysics
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Quantitative localization of electroencephalography (EEG) sources is crucial for understanding brain activity.
  • Current methods involve complex source and head models, facing challenges like non-uniqueness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review fundamental concepts in EEG source localization.
  • To discuss current and emerging approaches to solving the EEG inverse problem.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of different localization techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of monopolar and dipolar source models.
  • Exploration of spherical and realistic head models (boundary and finite element methods).
  • Analysis of forward and inverse problem solutions, including single/multiple time-slice, equivalent dipole, and weighted minimum norm methods.

Main Results:

  • The non-uniqueness of the inverse problem is a significant challenge.
  • Multiple time-slice localization, based on spatiotemporal EEG models, is presented as a highly effective approach.
  • The weighted minimum norm method offers model-free current density estimation.

Conclusions:

  • Accurate EEG source localization is influenced by noise, artifacts, and electrode density.
  • Multiple time-slice localization represents a promising direction for precise brain activity mapping.
  • Model-free approaches like minimum norm provide valuable complementary information.
