Abstract
The minimum norm least-squares approach based on lead field theory provides a unique inverse solution for a magnetic source image that is the best estimate in the least-squares sense. This has been applied to determine the source current distribution when the primary current is confined to a surface or set of surfaces. In model simulations of cortical activity of the human brain, the magnetic field pattern across the scalp is interpreted with prior knowledge of anatomy to yield a unique magnetic source image across a portion of cerebral cortex, without resort to an explicit source model.
