Models and computation methods of EEG forward problem / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

The research of EEG is of grat significance and clinical importance in studying the cognitive function and neural activity of the brain. There are two key problems in the field of EEG, EEG forward problem and EEG inverse problem. EEG forward problem which aims to get the distribution of the scalp potential due to the known current distribution in the brain is the basis of the EEG inverse problem. Generally, EEG inverse problem depends on the accuracy and efficiency of the computational method of EEG forward problem. This paper gives a review of the head model and corresponding computational method about EEG forward problem studied in recent years.
