Abstract
A method for using electrical stimulation for cerebral network analysis. A first source localization procedure is performed, including a first source measurement procedure which produces first source measurement data, using the first source measurement data to find a solution to a first ill-posed problem which provides a first estimated location of the source. The body is electrically stimulated by targeting the first estimated location, and a second, fast source measurement procedure producing second source measurement data is performed thereafter while measurable effects of the step of stimulating, on the source, still remain. The second source measurement data are compared with the first source measurement data for assessing an extent to which the first estimated location is correct.
