RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Inverse Modeling for MEG/EEG Data JF bioRxiv FD Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory SP 135269 DO 10.1101/135269 A1 Alberto Sorrentino A1 Michele Piana YR 2017 UL http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/05/08/135269.abstract AB We provide an overview of the state-of-the-art for mathematical methods that are used to reconstruct brain activity from neurophysiological data. After a brief introduction on the mathematics of the forward problem, we discuss standard and recently proposed regularization methods, as well as Monte Carlo techniques for Bayesian inference. We classify the inverse methods based on the underlying source model, and discuss advantages and disadvantages. Finally we describe an application to the pre–surgical evaluation of epileptic patients.
