SUPPLEMENTARY NOTESFinal report delivered by the AFOSR contractor (Monk) to the government (AFRL/HEX members contributing) based upon EEG data supplied by Dr. James Kroger, New Mexico State University.10-26-06: Cleared for public release; PA-06-382 14. ABSTRACT The inverse source problem for Maxwell's equations is considered. We show that the problem of finding a volume current density from surface measurements does not have a unique solution, and we characterize the nonuniqueness. We also show that if further information is available the inverse source problem may have a unique solution. The method is useful for the quantitative determination of interior brain currents from surface electroencephalographic measurements. The application is to prosthesis control. Abstract. The inverse source problem for Maxwell's equations is considered. We show that the problem of finding a volume current density from surface measurements does not have a unique solution, and characterize the non-uniqueness. We also show that if further a priori information is available, the inverse source problem may have a unique solution (in particular for surface currents or dipole sources).
