Abstract
Two high resolution methods solving inverse problems potentially ill-posed, named 4-MUSIC and 4-RapMUSIC, are proposed. They allow for localization of brain current sources with unconstrained orientations from surface electro-or magneto-encephalographic data using spherical or realistic head geometries. The 4-MUSIC and 4-RapMUSIC methods are based on i) the separability of the data transfer matrix as a function of location and orientation parameters and ii) the fourth order (FO) virtual array theory. In addition, 4-RapMUSIC uses the deflation concept extended to FO statistics accounting for the presence of potentially but not totally coherent sources. Computer results display the superiority of the 4-RapMUSIC approach in different situations (two closed sources, additive Gaussian noise with unknown spatial covariance, ...) especially over classical algorithms.
