Abstract

We present a new approach to MEG inverse problem by modeling it into a standard blind source separation problem. In our approach, dipole sources and gain matrix are estimated without any knowledge about the head geometry and conductivity. Given the head model, we can compute dipole locations further. Our matrix pencil method developed before is suitable for this task and is applied in the simulation. Simulation results are presented
