Abstract
A 2-d finite element model is used to simulate the adult head. The effect of gross variations of skull thickness on the sensitivity of measurement pairs to areas within the model are obtained. The implications of these measurements for electrical impedance tomography of the adult brain are discussed. Inter-patient variability of the adult skull may be a key factor in electrical impedance tomography of the adult head.
