摘要
A method of analysing biomagnetic signals is presented which focuses attention on activity in a specific region of interest. The method is based on the construction of virtual sensors, corresponding to linear combinations of lead fields that are optimally localized within the region of interest. This method is fast and stable. It is tested against physiologically plausible computer generated signals and also against more elaborate analysis of real data. The results show that the method can be very effective as a fast scanning tool identifying activity from pre-defined regions of interest.
