Source estimation of epileptic activity using eLORETA kurtosis analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exact low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (eLORETA) is a technique for three-dimensional representation of the distribution of sources of electrical activity in the brain. Kurtosis analysis allows for identification of spiky activity in the brain. To evaluate the reliability of eLORETA kurtosis analysis, the results of the analysis were compared with those of equivalent current dipole (ECD) and synthetic aperture magnetometry (SAM) kurtosis analysis of magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in a patient with epilepsy with elementary visual seizures in a 6-year follow-up.The results of electroencephalography (EEG) eLORETA kurtosis analysis indicative of a right superior temporal spike source partially overlapped with MEG ECD/SAM kurtosis results in all recordings, with a total overlapping at the end of the follow-up period. Overall findings suggest that eLORETA kurtosis analysis of EEG data may aid in the localisation of spike activity sources in patients with epilepsy.

A Novel Visualization Method for Sleep Spindles Based on Source Localization of High Density EEG
Equivalent dipole source localization is a well-established approach to localizing the electrical activity in electroencephalogram (EEG). So far, source localization has been used primarily in localizing the epileptic source in human epileptic patients. Currently, source localization techniques have been applied to account for localizing epileptic source among the epileptic patients. Here, we p...
متن کاملA Contrast for Ica Based on the Knowledge of Source Kurtosis Signs
We propose a new contrast criterion for independent component analysis (ICA) based on the prior knowledge of the source kurtosis signs. After prewhitening, the contrast can be optimized by a pairwise processing approach in which plane rotations are found at low computational cost at each iteration. It is proved that the indeterminacy associated with this contrast is a scaled permutation matrix ...
