ResumoThe dipole tracing (DT) method estimates the position and vector dipole moment of an equivalent current dipole by minimizing the mean squared error of the dipole potentials at the surface electrode positions. In the scalp-skull-brain/DT (SSB/DT) method, which we have developed, the head model consists of three compartments of uniform conductors corresponding to the scalp, skull and brain. The accuracy of the calculations are mainly dependent on the ratios of the conductivities of the three compartments. The best result was obtained with the conductivity ratios of 1:1/80:1 for the scalp, skull and brain compartments, respectively.
