title = "A case study of focal bayesian EEG inversion for whitney element source spaces: Mesh-based vs. cartesian orientations",
abstract = "This paper concentrates on the Bayesian detection of the neuronal current distributions in the electroencephalography (EEG) imaging of the brain activity. In particular, we focus on a hierarchical maximum a posteriori inversion technique applicable when the lead field matrix is constructed via the finite element method. We utilize the linear Whitney (Raviart-Thomas) basis functions as source currents. In the numerical experiments, the accuracy was investigated using two spherical head models. The results obtained suggest that the interpolation of the dipolar source space does not necessarily bring any advantage for FEM based inverse computations. Furthermore, the divergence conforming Whitney-type sources were found to be sufficient for precise and highly focal Bayesian modeling of dipole-like currents.",
