title: Realistic human head model for EEG from both the geometry and conductivity aspects.
abstract: This paper describes modelling and simulation of a had model which incorporates both the geometries and conductivities of the human head. It focuses on the inclusion of tissue conductivity inhomogeneity in a realistically-shaped head model, and investigates the impact of this inclusion on the potential distribution within the model. The result show that the impact, which has been neglected in realistic head models so far, is significant.
