Analytic Reconstructions for MEG and EEG (Lecture III)

Speaker: Prof. Thanasis Fokas, Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, University of Cambridge & Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California

Talk Title: Analytic Reconstructions for MEG and EEG (Lecture III)

Series: Three Part Lecture Series

Abstract: Analytical reconstructions as well as appropriate mnumerical implementations for the important imaging techniques of Magneto-encephalography (MEG) and Electro-ecephalography (EEG) will be reviewed. The numerical implementations of MEG and EEG are based on state of the art codes for the numerical evaluation of certain auxiliary functions appearing in the relevant analytical formulae. The effectiveness of reconstructions of the neuronal current using either real EEG or real MEG data will be demonstrated.


Biography: Thanasis Fokas, Chair of Nonlinear mathematical science at the University of Cambridge and Visiting Professor of Electrical Engineering here at USC, will give a series of lectures on Magneto-Electro-Encephalography, which will be introduced by Professor Richard Leahy. The work of Thanasis FOKAS and collaborators has resolved completely the following important question in this area that was open since the fundamental work of Helmohltz: which part of the neuronal current can be computed from the knowledge of either MEG or EEG data?
