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...

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 combination with coninciding cortical activity. As we have shown earlier theoretically and through simulations, RAMUS is a novel mathematical method that by employing the multigrid concept, allows marginalizing noise and depth bias effects and thus enables the recovery of both cortical and subcortical brain activity. To show this capability with experimental data, we examined the 14–30 ms post-stimulus somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) responses of human median nerve stimulation in three healthy adult subjects. We aim at reconstructing the different response components by evaluating a RAMUS-based estimate for the primary current density in the nervous tissue.
