VISUALIZATION OF DIPOLE SOLUTIONS TO THE NEUROMAGNETIC INVERSE PROBLEM

We have developed a computer program that computes and displays curren t-dipole solutions to the neuromagnetic inverse problem. The three-dim ensional positions, orientations, and corresponding magnetic field val ues of the detection coils can be visualized with respect to a realist ic representation of the subject's head shape. The topographies of the experimental data, theoretical fit, and residual field are represente d without the use of data smoothing or interpolation, allowing more di rect comparisons between them. A simple method for displaying dipole s ource location was implemented.
