Neuroelectric source localization by random spatial sampling
The magnetoencephalography (MEG) aims at reconstructing the unknown
neuroelectric activity in the brain from the measurements of the neuromagnetic field in the outer space.
The localization of neuroelectric sources from MEG data results in an ill-posed and ill-conditioned
inverse problem that requires regularization techniques to be solved.
In this paper we propose a new inversion method based on random spatial sampling that is
suitable to localize focal neuroelectric sources. The method is fast, efficient and requires
little memory storage. Moreover, the numerical tests show that the random sampling method has a high spatial resolution even in the case of deep source localization from noisy magnetic data
An inversion method based on random sampling for real-time MEG neuroimaging
The MagnetoEncephaloGraphy (MEG) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique with a high temporal resolution which can be successfully used in real-time applications, such as brain-computer interface training or neurofeedback rehabilitation.
The localization of the active area of the brain from MEG data results in a highly ill-posed and ill-conditioned inverse problem that requires fast and efficient inversion methods to be solved. In this paper we use an inversion method based on random spatial sampling to solve the MEG inverse problem. The method is fast, efficient and has a low computational load. The numerical tests show that the method can produce accurate map of the electric activity inside the brain even in case of deep neural sources
