The Magnetic Potential for the Ellipsoidal Meg Problem ∗1)
نویسنده
چکیده
In magnetoencephalography (MEG) a primary current is activated within a bounded conductive medium, i.e., the head. The primary current excites an induction current and the total (primary plus induction) current generates a magnetic field which, outside the conductor, is irrotational and solenoidal. Consequently, the exterior magnetic field can be expressed as the gradient of a harmonic function, known as the magnetic potential. We show that for the case of a triaxial ellipsoidal conductor this potential is obtained by using integration along a specific path which is dictated by the geometrical characteristics of the ellipsoidal system as well as by utilizing special properties of ellipsoidal harmonics. The vector potential representation of the magnetic field is also obtained.

Combined MEG and fMRI model
An integrated model for magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is proposed. In the proposed model, MEG and fMRI outputs are related to the corresponding aspects of neural activities in a voxel. Post synaptic potentials (PSPs) and action potentials (APs) are two main signals generated by neural activities. In the model, both of MEG and fMRI are related to t...
متن کاملThe Direct Meg Problem in the Presence of an Ellipsoidal Shell Inhomogeneity
The forward problem of Magnetoencephalography for an ellipsoidal inhomogeneous shell-model of the brain is considered. The inhomogeneity enters through a confocal ellipsoidal shell exhibiting different conductivity than the one of the brain tissue. It is shown that, as far as the leading quadrupolic moment of the exterior magnetic field is concerned, the complicated expression associated with t...

In this paper, a method is proposed for producing gravity acceleration at sea surface in the Persian Gulf. This method is based on the Geoid height from satellite altimetry, high resolution Geopotential models, and ellipsoidal splines. First, the definition of the ellipsoidal spline functions is presented in a Hilbert space, which is consisted of infinitely often differentiable functions. In or...
متن کاملCharacteristics of MEG Removal from Industrial Wastewater by Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR)
Background: MEG is extensively applied in the sour gas industry as a hydrate inhibitor. It is toxic in oral drinking and serious injury or death may result from swallowing of pure ethylene glycol and poses a potential hazard to the environment through impact soil. Glycols are harmful to aquatic life. There is little information about the digestion of MEG in the aerobic reactor. Therefore, t...
متن کاملEllipsoidal head model for fetal magnetoencephalography: forward and inverse solutions.
Fetal magnetoencephalography (fMEG) is a non-invasive technique where measurements of the magnetic field outside the maternal abdomen are used to infer the source location and signals of the fetus' neural activity. There are a number of aspects related to fMEG modelling that must be addressed, such as the conductor volume, fetal position and orientation, gestation period, etc. We propose a solu...
