Reconstructing subcortical and cortical somatosensory activity via the RAMUS inverse source analysis technique using median nerve SEP data

This study concerns reconstructing brain activity at various depths based on non-invasive EEG (electroencephalography) scalp measurements. We aimed at demonstrating the potential of the RAMUS (randomized multiresolution scanning) technique in localizing weakly distinguishable far-field sources in co...
