Imaging of brain electric field networks with spatially resolved EEG by Lawrence R Frank, Vitaly L Galinsky, Olave Krigolson, Susan Tapert, Stephan Bickel, Antigona Martinez

“…We present a method for spatially resolving the electric field potential throughout the entire volume of the human brain from electroencephalography (EEG) data. The method is not a variation of the well-known ‘source reconstruction’ methods, but rather a direct solution to the EEG inverse problem based on our recently developed model for brain waves that demonstrates the inadequacy of the standard ‘quasi-static approximation’ that has fostered the belief that such a reconstruction is not physically possible. …”
