A METHOD FOR LOCALIZING EEG SOURCES IN REALISTIC HEAD MODELS

A computationally practical method for performing moving dipole calculations to localize EEG sources in realistic, boundary element (integral equation) type of head models is presented. This method makes use of a rapid method of solving the forward problem of calculating the EEG's produced by a dipole in a realistic head model. This rapid forward calculation method allows the use of standard Simplex search techniques to solve the inverse problem of localizing electrical sources in the brain from EEG's measured on the scalp.
