ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved machine and method for converting recordings of electric potentials into nervous-system-generator parameters that can be used by clinicians and researchers to evaluate generators of central or peripheral nervous system activity. The machine and method utilize as inputs physiological recordings made at sites remote from the generator, data on shapes of boundaries, locations of recording points and electrical conductivity of volumes to be analyzed. The invention teaches how to compute the weight function values, corresponding to electric potentials and/or electric fields across a pair of electrodes due to unit source current by the use of the Lead Field Analysis in a boundary element method.
