    • Influence of head models on EEG simulations and inverse source localizations 

      Ramon, Ceon; Schimpf, Paul H.; Haueisen, Jens (2006)
      Background: The structure of the anatomical surfaces, e.g., CSF and gray and white matter, could severely influence the flow of volume currents in a head model. This, in turn, will also influence the scalp potentials and ...
