Seed dipole solutions from cortical images

Module information
Modules	BESA Research Basic or higher
Version	5.2 or higher

BESA initially was designed to give comprehensive dipole solution to resolve so called inverse solution. With the advance of neruoinformatics we also incorporated many popular volumetric solutions (i.e. LORETA) and our own invesions (like CLARA). Since BESA Research release 6.1 we also introduced cortical solutions (i.e. Cortical LORETA). As always both solutions (dipole and 3D Imaging methods) has some pros and cons. For example during dipole analysis, number of dipoles has to be assumed by the user. 3D Imaging methods does not need this, but not provide orientation and waveform of the designated source.

Therefore there is possibility to seed dipole solutions from 3D and cortical images.

When you have a source analysis window open and you did desired 3D Imaging source analysis you might end with something similar to this: File:DipoleFromSeedArrows.jpg
