Bayesian multi--dipole localization and uncertainty quantification from simultaneous EEG and MEG recordings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We deal with estimation of multiple dipoles from combined MEG and EEG time–series. We use a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm to characterize the posterior distribution of the number of dipoles and their locations. By considering three test cases, we show that using the combined data the method can localize sources that are not easily (or not at all) visible with either of the two individual data alone. In addition, the posterior distribution from combined data exhibits a lower variance, i.e. lower uncertainty, than the posterior from single device. Keywords— Bayesian method, sequential Monte Carlo, dipole modeling, magnetoencephalography, electroen-

Benefit of simultaneous recording of EEG and MEG in dipole localization.
PURPOSE In this study, we tried to show that EEG and magnetoencephalography (MEG) are clinically complementary to each other and that a combination of both technologies is useful for the precise diagnosis of epileptic focus. METHODS We recorded EEGs and MEGs simultaneously and analyzed dipoles in seven patients with intractable localization-related epilepsy. MEG dipoles were analyzed by using...
متن کاملA 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...
متن کاملSimultaneous EEG/MEG and ECoG source characterization of interictal spikes
For some TLE patients that do not respond the pharmacological treatment, epilepsy surgery is an option. In those cases, the determination of the location of the sources and the sequence in which they become active is of prime importance. In this paper, we investigate the interpretability and validity of dipole source localization based on EEG, MEG and simultaneous EEG+MEG for TLE interictal spi...
متن کاملMultimodal integration: constraining MEG localization with EEG and fMRI
I review recent methodological developments for multimodal integration of MEG, EEG and fMRI data within a Parametric Empirical Bayesian framework [1]. More specifically, I describe two ways to incorporate multimodal data during distributed MEG/EEG source reconstruction under linear Gaussian assumptions: 1) the simultaneous inversion of EEG and MEG data using a common generative model [2], and 2...
متن کاملError bounds for EEG and MEG dipole source localization.
General formulas are presented for computing a lower bound on localization and moment error for electroencephalographic (EEG) or magnetoencephalographic (MEG) current source dipole models with arbitrary sensor array geometry. Specific EEG and MEG formulas are presented for multiple dipoles in a head model with 4 spherical shells. Localization error bounds are presented for both EEG and MEG for ...
