  6. General Limitations in EEG Localization • Deeper Sources Show Weaker Signals • Magnitude Depends on Dipole Orientation • Magnitude Depends on Temporal Synchrony • Magnitude Depends on Spatial Coherence • Conductivity of Body Tissues (CSF, scalp) Blur the Scalp Potentials

EEG Source Localization after Massoud Akhtari • High resolution raw data • High temporal resolution EEG • High spatial resolution imaging • Computational Capacity • Accurate Mathematical Models • Maxwell’s Equation forward model • Non-singular Inversion • Accurate Physiological Parameters • Conductivity of all relevant tissues ≥10 kHz ≤ 1 mm

C L R Such elements result in substantial phase lags that can alter the dipole localization by several millimeters.

  11. How does BOLD relate to neural firing? • Energy Demands in Transmission • Pre-synaptic: • Transmitter Synthesis • Exocytosis • Transmitter re-uptake • Post-Synaptic • Maintenance of membrane potential after ion leakage • Excitatory: Removal of Sodium (Na/K pump) • Inhibitory: ???

  13. Spike-triggered Imaging

  14. Spike-Triggered fMRI R R • Complex partial seizures, rare generalization • EEG: generalized interictal discharges, some with left temporal onset • MRI: normal • Complex partial seizures, occasional generalization • EEG: multifocal and generalized interictal discharges • MRI: symmetric subependymal heterotopias Warach, et al.
