System and method for the tomography of the primary electric current of the brain and of the heart

A three-dimensional map of the probability of brain or heart functional states is obtained based on electric and or magnetic signals measured in the surface of body. From said signals, the statistical descriptive parameters are obtained and a map of its distribution is calculated. The map is the inv...

Summary:A three-dimensional map of the probability of brain or heart functional states is obtained based on electric and or magnetic signals measured in the surface of body. From said signals, the statistical descriptive parameters are obtained and a map of its distribution is calculated. The map is the inverse solution of the problem based upon: a) the restriction of the solution to structures with high probability of generating electric activity using for this restriction an Anatomical Atlas and b) imposing that the solution belong to a pre-specified functional space. The probability is determined that this map belongs to a test group. The spatial and temporal correlations of the map are modeled as well as their dependence on experimental covariables. The resulting probabilities are coded in a pseudocolor scale and they are superimposed on a Anatomical Atlas for their interactive three-dimensional visualization.
