Evoked to STC

A bird’s eye view of going from evoked to STC. The forward is read from a precomputed file, from which an inverse operator is computed and the source estimation performed.

Forward

More details into how the forward model is computed.

The forward model tells us how a unit dipole on the cortical surface propagates through the brain. It involves computation of:

  • Boundary element model (BEM) conductivity of different tissues
  • Creation of a discrete source space to compute the forward on the entire cortical surface
  • Coregistration (aligning the head and the device coordinates)

Covariance

The covariance estimation is needed to take into account the correlated noise in the sensors.
