\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:Conclusion}

In this project, we have described a comprehensive pipeline to build
an inhomogeneous, anisotropic head and brain model based on human data
of multiple image modalities for use in electroencephalography with an
emphasis on forward and inverse problem research, as well as
visualizations of functional MRI and EEG data. Along with the
pipeline, we have released the human data as open-source to enable
other scientists to have a starting point and a straightforward path
for further research. The high-resolution, multi-image dataset is
available in parts for those who want to use only specific aspects of
the project.

Future investigations based on this pipeline include finding more
appropriate decimation algorithms for three-dimensional tetrahedral
finite element meshes to further reduce the mesh size; more exact
sinus and skull segmentation methods to improve the appearance and
accuracy of these layers; and more robust registration techniques,
which will provide a better transformation matrix for moving images to
DTI coordinate space, especially for fMRI data. Additions to this
dataset could include more methods to incorporate functional MRI data
into source localization simulations and more specific processing of
EEG data for different applications, which will result in better
visualizations.
