• Abstract: The electroencephalography (EEG) source imaging problem is very sensitive to the electrical modelling of the skull of the patient under examination. Unfortunately, the currently available EEG devices and their embedded software do not take this into account; instead, it is common to use a literature-based skull conductivity parameter. In this paper, we propose a statistical method based on the Bayesian approximation error approach to compensate for source imaging errors due to the unknown skull conductivity and, simultaneously, to compute a low-order estimate for the actual skull conductivity value. By using simulated EEG data that corresponds to focal source activity, we demonstrate the potential of the method to reconstruct the underlying focal sources and low-order errors induced by the unknown skull conductivity. Subsequently, the estimated errors are used to approximate the skull conductivity. The results indicate clear improvements in the source localization accuracy and feasible skull conductivity estimates.

  Existing source imaging algorithms utilize the Gaussian assumption for the observation noise to build the likelihood function for Bayesian inference. The electromagnetic measurements of brain activity are usually affected by miscellaneous artifacts, leading to a potentially non-Gaussian distribution for the observation noise. We propose a new likelihood model which is robust with respect to non-Gaussian noises.

  Cochlear implants (CIs) are implantable medical devices that can restore the hearing sense of people suffering from profound hearing loss. The exact location of these electrodes may be an important parameter to improve and predict the performance with these devices. We propose a Markov random field (MRF) model for CI electrode localization for cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) datasets.

We show that by training the models on higher resolution images and by improving the quality of the reconstructions, we obtain results which are comparable with different baselines.
