An MEG Inverse Solver by Imposition of Temporal Smoothness Constraint
The magnetoencephalography (MEG) inverse problem refers to the reconstruction of the neural activity of the brain from MEG measurements.A method to solve the MEG inverse problem employing temporal smoothness constraint is proposed under the assumption that time course of the source is smooth in time.Specifically
the temporal smoothness of the source was ensured by imposing a roughness penalty in the minimum norm estimate (MNE) data fitting criterion in the form of dual-parameter regularization.To select two tuning parameters
the generalized cross-validation criterion (GCV) was used.The inverse solutions were obtained as the linear combination of the one-parameter regularized solutions.We evaluated the proposed method by a synthetic example and a real data example.Compared with MNE
the proposed method can get smaller overall mean squared error (MSE) and smaller curvature variability.Moreover
the proposed method can reconstruct the shape of the time course of source better.
