Combining EEG and MEG for the reconstruction of epileptic activity using a calibrated realistic volume conductor model.

To increase the reliability for the non-invasive determination of the irritative zone in presurgical epilepsy diagnosis, we introduce here a new experimental and methodological source analysis pipeline that combines the complementary information in EEG and MEG, and apply it to data from a patient, s...
