چکیده

We propose a new MUSIC-like method, called 2q-ExSo-MUSIC (q ≥ 1). This method is an extension of the 2q-MUSIC (q ≥ 1) approach for solving the EEG/MEG inverse problem, when spatially-extended neocortical sources ("ExSo") are considered. It introduces a novel ExSo-MUSIC principle. The novelty is two-fold: i) the parameterization of the spatial source distribution that leads to an appropriate metric in the context of distributed brain sources and ii) the introduction of an original, efficient and low-cost way of optimizing this metric. In 2q-ExSo-MUSIC, the possible use of higher order statistics (q ≥ 2) offers a better robustness with respect to Gaussian noise of unknown spatial coherence and modeling errors. As a result we reduced the penalizing effects of both the background cerebral activity that can be seen as a Gaussian and spatially correlated noise, and the modeling errors induced by the non-exact resolution of the forward problem. Computer results on simulated EEG signals obtained with physiologically-relevant models of both the sources and the volume conductor show a highly increased performance of our 2q-ExSo-MUSIC method as compared to the classical 2q-MUSIC algorithms.

Combination of Beamforming and Synchronization Methods for Epileptic Source Localization, using Simulated EEG Signals

Localization of sources in patients with focal seizure has recently attracted many attentions. In the severe cases of focal seizure, there is a possibility of doing neurosurgery operation to remove the defected tissue. The prosperity of this heavy operation completely depends on the accuracy of source localization. To increase this accuracy, this paper presents a new weighted beamforming method...

A study of dipole localization accuracy for MEG and EEG using a human skull phantom.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the accuracy of forward and inverse techniques for EEG and MEG dipole localization. DESIGN AND METHODS A human skull phantom was constructed with brain, skull and scalp layers and realistic relative conductivities. Thirty two independent current dipoles were distributed within the 'brain' region and EEG and MEG data collected separately for each dipole. The true dipol...

Self-Consistent MUSIC algorithm to localize multiple sources in acoustic imaging 4TH BERLIN BEAMFORMING CONFERENCE

The Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) algorithm is a standard method to localize acoustic sounds as well as brain sources in electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). In one of its variants used for EEG/MEG source analysis, called RAP-MUSIC, sequential projections were proposed to properly identify local maxima of the gain function as origins of true sources. The purpo...

Localizing True Brain Interactions from EEG and MEG Data with Subspace Methods and Modified Beamformers

To address the problem of mixing in EEG or MEG connectivity analysis we exploit that noninteracting brain sources do not contribute systematically to the imaginary part of the cross-spectrum. Firstly, we propose to apply the existing subspace method "RAP-MUSIC" to the subspace found from the dominant singular vectors of the imaginary part of the cross-spectrum rather than to the conventionally ...

Mapping the signal-to-noise-ratios of cortical sources in magnetoencephalography and electroencephalography.

Although magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) have been available for decades, their relative merits are still debated. We examined regional differences in signal-to-noise-ratios (SNRs) of cortical sources in MEG and EEG. Data from four subjects were used to simulate focal and extended sources located on the cortical surface reconstructed from high-resolution magnetic r...
