In this study, the forward problem of electrical source imaging (ESI) is solved using the Boundary Element method (BEM) with realistic head models. The realistic model consists of scalp, skull, CSF, brain and eyes. To get more accurate results quadratic elements are used in the meshes-and a new method is proposed for the generation of the quadratic mesh. An accelerated method is proposed for the solution of the potential field.

Development of realistic head models for electromagnetic source imaging of the human brain Akahn, Z.; Acar, C.E.; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); 2002-12-07) In this work, a methodology is developed to solve the forward problem of electromagnetic source imaging using realistic head models. For this purpose, first segmentation of the 3 dimensional MR head images is performed. Then triangular, quadratic meshes are formed for the interfaces of the tissues. Thus, realistic meshes, representing scalp, skull, CSF, brain and eye tissues, are formed. At least 2000 nodes for the scalp and 5000 for the cortex are needed to obtain reasonable geometrical approximation. Solu...
AN ANALYSIS TO IMPROVE STABILITY OF DRIVE-MODE OSCILLATIONS IN CAPACITIVE VIBRATORY MEMS GYROSCOPES Alper, S. E.; Sahin, K.; Akın, Tayfun (2009-01-29) This paper presents an analysis showing that it is possible to determine the factors that limit the stability of drive-mode oscillations of a vibratory MEMS gyroscope with precise modeling. Specifically, unwanted electrical resonance characteristics of the gyroscope drive-mode are analyzed together with analytical expressions, whereas the results of the theoretical analyses are verified both by simulations and measurements, which agree very well. It is demonstrated that the stability of the drive-mode oscil...
An advanced boundary element method (BEM) implementation for the forward problem of electromagnetic source imaging Akahn-Acar, Z; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 2004-11-07) The forward problem of electromagnetic source imaging has two components: a numerical model to solve the related integral equations and a model of the head geometry. This study is on the boundary element method (BEM) implementation for numerical solutions and realistic head modelling. The use of second-order (quadratic) isoparametric elements and the recursive integration technique increase the accuracy in the solutions. Two new formulations are developed for the calculation of the transfer matrices to obta...
A nonlinear model for amplifiers with memory Yuzer, Ahmet Hayrettin; Demir, Şimşek (2010-12-20) In this study an improved behavioral modeling including even order terms is proposed to model asymmetric IMD components observed in the multi-tone excitation of nonlinear amplifiers. Only odd order model (OOM) and even order introduced model (EOM), proposed model, are constructed and compared for a sample amplifier. It is showed that introducing even order term is improved the model validity range and accuracy in addition to the decrease model polinomial order. © 2010 IEEE.
A new boundary element method formulation for the forward problem solution of electro-magnetic source imaging Tanzer, IO; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (1997-11-02) Numerical solution of the potential and magnetic fields far a given electrical source distribution in the human brain is the essential part of electro-magnetic source imaging. In this study, the performance of Boundary Element Method (BEM) with different surface element types is explored. A new BEM formulation is derived that makes use of isoparametric linear and quadratic elements. It is shown that, quadratic elements provides superior performance over linear elements in terms of computation time and accur...
