Application of Prewhitening Beamformer with Linear Constraints for Correlated EEG Signal Source Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
To investigate the effect of signal correlation, the authors compared the relative abilities to estimate the source of an ERD/ERS signal among minimum variance beamformer (MVBF), linearly constrained (LC)-MVBF, prewhitening beamformer (PWBF), and LC-PWBF during the measurement of correlated signals. In numerical simulations, equivalent current dipoles were placed in the primary motor cortex to detect the modulation of μ and β rhythms. It was confirmed that the location bias of LC-PWBF was smaller than that of MVBF, LC-MVBF, and PWBF. These results suggest that LC-PWBF is useful for estimating the location of signal sources that are highly correlated and have low signal-to-noise ratio.

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...
متن کاملClosely Spaced MEG Source Localization and Functional Connectivity Analysis Using a New Prewhitening Invariance of Noise Space Algorithm.
This paper proposed a prewhitening invariance of noise space (PW-INN) as a new magnetoencephalography (MEG) source analysis method, which is particularly suitable for localizing closely spaced and highly correlated cortical sources under real MEG noise. Conventional source localization methods, such as sLORETA and beamformer, cannot distinguish closely spaced cortical sources, especially under ...
متن کاملBeamforming Techniques Applied in EEG Source Analysis
The electrical activity of the human brain causes time-varying potential differences on the head surface. The electroencephalogram (EEG) is a measurement of these potential differences between electrodes on the head. When the electrical brain activity is limited to a small region in the brain (e.g., during epileptic seizures), the source region within the brain can be localised by analysing the...
متن کاملScanning Reduction Strategy in MEG/EEG Beamformer Source Imaging
MEG/EEG beamformer source imaging is a promising approach which can easily address spatiotemporal multi-dipole problems without a priori information on the number of sources and is robust to noise. Despite such promise, beamformer generally has weakness which is degrading localization performance for correlated sources and is requiring of dense scanning for covering all possible interesting ent...
متن کاملChange Point Estimation of a Process Variance with a Linear Trend Disturbance
When a change occurs in a process, one expects to receive a signal from a control chart as quickly as possible. Upon the receipt of signal from the control chart a search for identifying the source of disturbance begins. However, searching for assignable cause around the signal time, due to the fact that the disturbance may have manifested itself into the rocess sometimes back, may not always l...
