Abstract

Adaptive minimum variance based beamformers (MVB) have been successfully applied to magnetoencephalogram (MEG) and electroencephalogram (EEG) data to localize brain activities. However, the performance of these beamformers falls down in situations where correlated or interference sources exist. To overcome this problem, we propose indirect dominant mode rejection (iDMR) beamformer application in brain source localization. This method by modifying measurement covariance matrix makes MVB applicable in source localization in the presence of correlated and interference sources. Numerical results on both EEG and MEG data demonstrate that presented approach accurately reconstructs time courses of active sources and localizes those sources with high spatial resolution. In addition, the results of real AEF data show the good performance of iDMR in empirical situations. Hence, iDMR can be reliably used for brain source localization especially when there are correlated and interference sources.
