Abstract:
Recently, we have proposed a new concept for analyzing EEG/MEG data (Uhl et al. 1998), which leads to a dynamical systems based modeling (DSBM) of neurophysiological data. We report the application of this approach to four different classes of simulated noisy data sets, to investigate the impact of DSBM-filtering on source localization. An improvement is demonstrated of up to above 50% of the distance between simulated and estimated dipole positions compared to principal component filtered and unfiltered data. On a noise level on which two underlying dipoles cannot be resolved from the unfiltered data, DSBM allows for an extraction of the two sources.
