Noninvasive brain imaging methods do not allow for a time resolution comparable with EEG or invasive measurements.
As many dynamical collective phenomena in the brain are observed in the 0.5-50Hz frequency range, noninvasive methods based on EEG measurements are the standard for clinical and behavioral studies as anaesthesia monitoring, sleep research, and diagnostics of neural disorders as tremor and epilepsy.
In this study [1] we employ the Kalman filter method for
the inverse problem of EEG measurement [2] to extract time series from localized deep brain regions as the thalamus.
We discuss the abilities and limitations of the approach.
