“…While the scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) has the advantage of unsurpassed millisecond temporal resolution necessary for resolving dynamic neural processes, its application to mapping spatial distribution of brain electrical activity is limited by its poor spatial resolution due to the blurring effect of the head volume conductor, especially the low-conductivity skull layer (Nunez, 1981;He, 2004He, , 2005. Tremendous effort has been made to enhance the spatial resolution of the conventional EEG by solving the so-called EEG inverse problem, which attempts to overcome the head volume conductor effect (Scherg & Von Cramon, 1985;He et al, 1987He et al, , 1996He et al, , 1999He et al, , 2001He et al, , 2002Cohen et al, 1990;Sidman et al, 1990;Dale & Sereno, 1993;Le & Gevins, 1993;Ebersole et al, 1994;Gevins et al, 1994;Nunez et al, 1994;Babiloni et al, 1997Babiloni et al, , 2003Fuchs et al, 1999;Michel et al, 1999;Ollikainen et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2003).…”
