Abstract :
A computationally practical method for performing moving dipole calculations to localize EEG sources in realistic, boundary element (integral equation) type of head models is presented. This method makes use of a rapid method of solving the forward problem of calculating the EEG´s produced by a dipole in a realistic head model. This rapid forward calculation method allows the use of standard Simplex search techniques to solve the inverse problem of localizing electrical sources in the brain from EEG´s measured on the scalp.
