Title: M/EEG Source Localization via Reciprocal Basis Functions
Abstract: Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are methods of recording the magnetic and electric fields of the brain. These fields are generated by neurological sources according to stimuli felt throughout the body. Source localization is a brain imaging procedure which uses the recorded M/EEG signals to recover the region of the neurological source. This procedure encompasses two major processes: building a model of the neurological sources (the forward problem) and using this model in conjunction with the recorded signals to localize the site of the sources (the inverse problem). In this presentation, I will present a brief overview of the source localization procedure and showcase how it can be utilized using our in-house solver to localize sources from real-world data.
