Anisotropic Forward Modeling of Electroencephalogram in MATLAB - CST Studio Suite Interface
Kuřátko, D. ; Raida, Z
A forward model of an electroencephalogram (EEG) is a necessary part of an EEG source analysis and plays a crucial role in accuracy of brain waves localization. The paper is aimed to exploit CST Studio Suite (CST) for an anisotropic forward model computation. Since the CST computes electric field intensity only, the line integration is used for the recalculation to the electric potential in MATLAB. The integration method and the accuracy of CST are validated by two software tools, and the comparison shows consistent electric potentials. Finally, the simplified anisotropic rat brain models are developed and simulated. Nevertheless, the anisotropic models compared with isotropic one show a rather weak effect on computed electric potentials.
An Influence Of Physical Electrode Models In Rat’S Head Forward Modelling
Kuřátko, David
Reliable inverse imaging of source currents in rat’s brain requires moderate models of fields to calibrate inverse solvers. The article is focused on the comparison of measured potentials on rat’s brain surface with and without physical electrode models. For the simulation purpose, the 3D models of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid, and the skull were developed from magnetic resonance images (MRI). Moreover, the pink noise was added to measured potentials to obtain more realistic results. Simulations showed higher values of potentials when physical electrode models were considered. Fortunately, the presence of electrode models does not influence the potential waveform. Therefore, the inclusion of electrode models to forward modelling can contribute to the increase of accuracy of an inverse solver, and thus the localization of current sources in rat’s brain.
