Magnetic source images determined by a lead-field analysis: the unique minimum-norm least-squares estimation

Wang, J.-Z., Williamson, S.J., Kaufman, L.·1992·IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering

Abstract

The minimum norm least-squares approach based on lead field theory provides a unique inverse solution for a magnetic source image that is the best estimate in the least-squares sense. This has been applied to determine the source current distribution when the primary current is confined to a surface or set of surfaces. In model simulations of cortical activity of the human brain, the magnetic field pattern across the scalp is interpreted with prior knowledge of anatomy to yield a unique magnetic source image across a portion of cerebral cortex, without resort to an explicit source model.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Weighted minimum norm mitigates the superficial bias by weighting current sources by the norm of the EEG/MEG signals they can generate with a unitary magnitude.

    “To mitigate this bias, one strategy is to weight current sources by the norm of the EEG/MEG signals that can be generated by each of them with a unitary magnitude. Introducing this weighting to MN regularization leads to the so-called weighted minimum norm (WMN) solution (24–27).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
