title: New methods for three dimensional mapping of brain waves.
abstract: The representation of spatiotemporal pattern of brain electrical activity is an important issue in the research of neural assemblies. This paper describes methods of parametric 3D head or brain modeling and its corresponding interpolation for functional imaging based on brain waves. The 3D interpolation method is an extension of cortical imaging technique. It can be used with features of either transformed domains or higher order statistics of brain waves on realistic head or brain models. The simulating result suggests that it is a better method in comparison with the global nearest neighbor technique. With those techniques, an example of brainwave imaging was given using partial coherence of event-related potentials estimated by multivariate autoregressive model.
