EEG source localization by multi-planar analytic sensing

Source localization from EEG surface measurements is an important problem in neuro-imaging. We propose a new mathematical framework to estimate the parameters of a multi- dipole source model. To that aim, we perform 2-D analytic sensing in multiple planes. The estimation of the projection on each plane of the dipoles' positions, which is a non-linear problem, is reduced to polynomial root finding. The 3-D information is then recovered as a special case of tomographic reconstruction. The feasibility of the proposed approach is shown for both synthetic and experimental data.
