Implementation of three-dimensional EEG brain mapping

Comput Biomed Res. 1999 Apr;32(2):123-31. doi: 10.1006/cbmr.1998.1503.

Abstract

The electroencephalogram (EEG) visualization software was developed containing two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) brain mapping modules. The input to the program is standard clinical individual patient data recorded using digital EEG and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The software utilizes several techniques, such as heuristic triangulation, ray casting, Gouraud shading, and image fusion to form multimodal 3D images. The program has been applied to the 3D visualization of various EEG signals, "cortical" EEG signals, and potential fields generated by a computer model. The developed program appears to operate efficiently and intuitively in PC/Windows environment.
