Ataseven, Yoldaş; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2005)
Human brain functions are based on the electrochemical activity and interaction of the neurons constituting the brain. Some brain diseases are characterized by abnormalities of this activity. Detection of the location and orientation of this electrical activity is called electro-magnetic source imaging (EMSI) and is of signi cant importance since it promises to serve as a powerful tool for neuroscience. Boundary Element Method (BEM) is a method applicable for EMSI on realistic head geometries that generates...
