EEG source imaging: correlating source locations and extents with electrocorticography and surgical resections in epilepsy patients.

It is desirable to estimate epileptogenic zones with both location and extent information from noninvasive EEG. In the present study, the authors use a subspace source localization method (FINE), combined with a local thresholding technique, to achieve such tasks. The performance of this method was evaluated in interictal spikes from three pediatric patients with medically intractable partial epilepsy.

Reduced spatially correlated noise influence using subspace source localization method FINES.

We have developed a high resolution subspace approach for EEG source localization within a realistic geometry inhomogeneous head model. The present study aims to reduce the influence caused by spatially correlated noise from background activities using FINES. Computer simulations were conducted on the realistic geometry head volume conductor model and compared with the classic MUSIC algorithm.

An alternative subspace approach to EEG dipole source localization.

In the present study, we investigate a new approach to electroencephalography (EEG) three-dimensional (3D) dipole source localization by using a non-recursive subspace algorithm called FINES. In estimating source dipole locations, the present approach employs projections onto a subspace spanned by a small set of particular vectors (FINES vector set) in the estimated noise-only subspace instead of the entire estimated noise-only subspace in the case of classic MUSIC. The subspace spanned by this vector set is, in the sense of principal angle, closest to the subspace spanned by the array manifold associated with a particular brain region.
