In collaboration with Dr. Don Tucker and his colleagues at Electrical Geodesics Inc (EGI) and the University of Oregon, this DBP is concerned with improving our ability to reconstruct and visualize neuroelectric sources (source localization) from EEG measurements and also our ability to stimulate specific brain regions using electrodes attached on to the scalp of the subject (transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS).
For both research and clinical practice, EEG is a cost-effective tool to understand and excite brain activity. EEG advances have significantly improved the spatial resolution of source estimates and offer the promise of precise spatio-temporal monitoring and stimulation of cortical brain activity. By itself, high-resolution EEG would be affordable even for small hospitals in remote locations and could be easily managed by technicians in the field.
