Mathematical Aspects of Source Modeling

Abstract

van Oosterom A. Mathematical aspects of source modeling. Acta Otolaryngol (Stockh) 1991; Suppl491: 70–79.

This paper reviews the properties of the major source models which are used in the analysis of observed bioelectric signals in general, and of evoked potentials in particular. The interpretation of such models demands the solution of an associated inverse problem. Emphasis is laid on the possibility of imposing such constraints on the model which render stable inverse solutions and yet allow a physiological interpretation. The nature of this paper is tutorial.

Key Words:

• constraints
