- Preliminary Program of Invited Lectures
-
- Brain Source Imaging (EEG/MEG) [1A]
- Devoted to analyze the recent developments in source and volume
- conductor models as well as the relationship between different
- inverse solutions and their physiological validity. Emphasis will be
- also given to the actual limitations of brain electromagnetic
- tomography and the integration of this information with other
- related techniques such as MRI, PET or SPECT.
