Spatiotemporal Analysis of Multichannel EEG: CARTOOL

Figure 6

Illustration of the two head models used for the inverse solution calculation in CARTOOL. The SMAC model (a) uses 3-shell of constant radiuses for the scalp and skull, which is in average a good approximation, but can be locally inaccurate for some electrodes. Due to the spherization step, the geometrical relationship between the inverse space and the electrodes is also slightly incorrect. The LSMAC model (b) uses the local radiuses of the scalp and skull, under each electrode locus, to generate different sets of 3 shells spherical model. Therefore, the forward problem is geometrically correct for each electrode.
