Key findings

  • Defines a general family of linear imaging methods with exact localization of point test sources
  • sLORETA shown to have no localization bias under measurement and biological noise
  • eLORETA is a true inverse solution with zero-error localization under structured biological noise
  • The family is extended to adaptive, data-dependent quasi-linear methods with the same property

A technical paper on estimating the 3D distribution of brain electrical activity from EEG and magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings, a problem with no unique solution. The author presents a family of linear imaging methods that localize point test sources with exact, zero error. He shows that standardized LORETA (sLORETA) has no localization bias with measurement and biological noise, and that exact LORETA (eLORETA) is a genuine inverse solution that keeps zero-error localization with structured biological noise.
