title: RBF networks for source localization in quantitative electrophysiology.
abstract: The backpropagation neural network methods have been proposed recently to solve the inverse problem in quantitative electrophysiology. A major advantage of the technique is that once a neural network is trained, it no longer requires iterations or access to sophisticated computations. We propose to use RBF networks for source localization in the brain, and systematically compare their performance to those of Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithms. We show the use of two types of Radial Basis Function Networks (RBF) network: a classic network with fixed number of hidden layer neurons and an improved network, Minimal Resource Allocation Network (MRAN), recently proposed by one of the authors, capable for dynamically configuring its structure so as to obtain a compact topology to match the data presented to it.
