Aviation is among the social sectors most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and at the same time has contributed to the rapid global spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 is one of the coronaviruses that have led to outbreaks such as MERS-CoV in the past. This group of pathogens, as well as others that may be unknown at this time, will continue to challenge our society in the future.

This so-called EEG forward problem is based on an accurate estimation of the volume conduction effects in the human head, represented by a partial differential equation which can be solved using the finite element method (FEM). FEM offers flexibility when modeling anisotropic tissue conductivities but requires a volumetric discretization, a mesh, of the head domain.

This paper presents DUNEuro, a free and open-source C++ software toolbox for the numerical computation of forward solutions in bioelectromagnetism. Building upon the DUNE framework, it provides implementations of modern fitted and unfitted finite element methods to efficiently solve the forward problems of electro- and magnetoencephalography.
