Accurate modeling of bioelectric propagation within the head is necessary for precise electromagnetic source localization. We present here a new approach for modeling spaces fractionally composed of grey matter and cerebrospinal fluid. Using information about the orientation of the cortical surface, we construct anisotropic conductivity tensors to model the partial volume effects frequently present...
The gold standard for the localization of epileptic activities in the cerebral cortex is intracranial electrocorticography (ECoG) electrodes placed directly on the brain surface. However, it has limitations in being able to localize deep brain epileptic sources. As a means to improve the localization of epileptic activities from these subdural electrical recordings, we developed a simple source monitoring...
Sensing neural activity within mechanically active tissues poses particular hurdles because most electrodes are much stiffer than biological tissues. As the tissue deforms, the rigid electrodes may damage the surrounding tissue. The problem is exacerbated when sensing neural activity in experimental models of traumatic brain injury (TBI) which is caused by the rapid and large deformation of brain...
In this study, forward problem of contactless electrical conductivity imaging is solved by using realistic-head model. Realistic-head model is modelled by a single volume with the ANSYS software and divided into hexahedral elements. Conductivity information for each element is obtained from MR gray-scale images obtained as a result of segmentation.For realistic-head model, a coil of radius 1 cm, 1...
It has been shown that the negative gradient of the component of the electric field, called the activating function, contributes to nerve excitation. In this paper, the induced electric field in a 3-D human head model by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been calculated by employing the impedance method. The activating functions are then obtained by gradient operations to the three components...
