A systematic study of head tissue inhomogeneity and anisotropy on EEG forward problem computing

Abstract: In this study, we propose a stochastic method to analyze the effects of inhomogeneous anisotropic tissue conductivity on electroencephalogram (EEG) in forward computation. We apply this method to an inhomogeneous and anisotropic spherical human head model. We apply stochastic finite element method based on Legendre polynomials, Karhunen-Loeve expansion and stochastic Galerkin methods. We apply Volume and Wang's constraints to restrict the anisotropic conductivities for both the white matter (WM) and the skull … Show more

“…Among the head tissue layers, skull shows the lowest conductivity due to its complicated bone structure. The electric potential originated from a current source inside the brain surrounding through the low conductive skull to the higher conductive scalp is known as forward computation [1]- [4]. Therefore, accurate representation and estimations of skull electrical conductivity are essential in developing appropriate EEG forward computation.…”
