Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings are often contaminated by interference that can exceed the amplitude of physiological brain activity by several orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the activity of interference sources may spatially extend (known as source leakage) into the activity of brain signals of interest, resulting in source estimation inaccuracies. This problem is particularly apparent when using MEG to interrogate the effects of brain stimulation on large-scale cortical networks. In this technical report, we develop a novel denoising approach for suppressing the leakage of interference source activity into the activity representing a brain region of interest. This approach leverages spatial and temporal domain projectors for signal arising from prespecified anatomical regions of interest. We apply this denoising approach to reconstruct simulated evoked response topographies to deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a phantom recording. We highlight the advantages of our approach compared to the benchmark-spatiotemporal signal space separation-and show that it can more accurately reveal brain stimulation-evoked response topographies. Finally, we apply our method to MEG recordings from a single patient with Parkinson's disease, to reveal early cortical-evoked responses to DBS of the subthalamic nucleus. Here, we develop methodological approaches for both validating and improving the estimation accuracy of deep brain stimulation-evoked responses using magnetoencephalography (MEG). By leveraging spatial and temporal projectors, our proposed method can also allow for the alleviation of 'source leakage', which is major limitation of MEG source estimation. image
