DUNEuro

DUNEuro implements forward modeling for electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) in C++ using the DUNE (Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment) framework to support accurate source analysis.

Key Features:

• DUNE-based C++ implementation: Built in C++ on the DUNE framework for advanced numerical computations.
• Advanced numerical approaches: Employs fitted and unfitted finite element methods to solve EEG/MEG forward problems.
• Versatile source models: Supports a variety of source models for modeling neural current sources.
• Realistic head models: Implements detailed six-compartment head models to represent realistic head geometries.
• Demonstrated examples: Includes source analysis examples demonstrated for cases such as somatosensory evoked potentials.

Scientific Applications:

• Source localization: Provides forward solutions used for localization of neural sources from EEG/MEG data.
• Simulation studies: Enables simulation of bioelectromagnetic fields using realistic head geometries for hypothesis testing and method evaluation.
• Forward-model development: Facilitates development and comparison of numerical forward models for EEG/MEG research.
• Analysis of evoked potentials: Applied in source analysis of evoked responses such as somatosensory evoked potentials.

Methodology:

Implemented in C++ using the DUNE framework and employing fitted and unfitted finite element methods to solve EEG/MEG forward problems on realistic six-compartment head geometries with multiple source model formulations.
