Identifying sources using beamforming/spatial filtering

• Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance (LCMV)

• Synthetic Aperture Magnetometry (SAM)

• Dynamical Imaging of Coherence Sources (DICS)

Summary

• Oscillatory activity– Spontaneous/ongoing

– Induced/event related

– Modulated by behavior

• Characterization in time and frequency– Power spectra

– Wavelets, FFT-based spectrogram, multitapers

• Identification of sources– Current estimates (MCE/MNE)

– Beamforming techniques
