Algebraic Reconstruction of Current Dipoles and Quadrupoles in Three-Dimensional Space

Abstract EN

This paper presents an algebraic method for an inverse source problem for the Poisson equation where the source consists of dipoles and quadrupoles.

This source model is significant in the magnetoencephalography inverse problem.

The proposed method identifies the source parameters directly and algebraically using data without requiring an initial parameter estimate or iterative computation of the forward solution.

The obtained parameters could be used for the initial solution in an optimization-based algorithm for further refinement.
