Abstract

For this study the impact of different co-registration procedures on MEG source localization of somatosensory evoked fields was evaluated. Two different co-registration procedures were used to calculate the transformation matrix which specifies how to align the MRI data to the MEG head coordinate system. In order to depict the differences, caused by the method, the Euclidian distance between the reconstructed sources was noted. It was shown that, erroneous MRI and MEG data co- registration effects source localization results. Most dipoles are located more posterior and superior when the more advanced registration procedure was applied. In conclusion the results show, that an iterative matching procedure allows an accurate knowledge of the MEG gradiometer sensor position relative to the head which is crucial to correctly reconstruct neuronal activity derived from MEG measurements.
