Anatomically accurate infant head models for EEG source localization

Abstract

Children differ from adults in head size, skull morphology, and tissue conductivity. We conducted a simulation to examine the error of source localization when a rescaled adult head model and different skull conductivities are used for EEG source localization in children. We have proven by simulation that source localization accuracy is the best with an infant specific head model including the age specific skull structure and conductivity.
