Abstract text:	This paper describes an application of hierarchical or empirical Bayes to the distributed source reconstruction problem in electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG and MEG). The key contribution is the automatic selection of multiple cortical sources with compact spatial support that are specified in terms of empirical priors. This obviates the need to use priors with a specific form (e.g., smoothness or minimum norm) or with spatial structure (e.g., priors based on depth constraints or functional magnetic resonance imaging results). Furthermore, the inversion scheme allows for a sparse solution for distributed sources, of the sort enforced by equivalent current dipole (ECD) models. This means the approach automatically selects either a sparse or a distributed model, depending on the data. The scheme is compared with conventional applications of Bayesian solutions to quantify the improvement in performance.

The Reprint Request service is currently unavailable. The webform interface is not passing on your requests despite saying it has. PDF's of articles are also not available unless specifically linked from the record under the link field. Open Access papers are accessible this way when available. We are not able to fulfill pdf requests due to copyright and contractual restrictions. Inclusion in the Bibliography does not mean that a copy is available, this is foremost a record of the unit's work. Papers marked 'In Press' have not been published so are not available. Books and tests are also not available for copying. These are commerical products and you will need to buy them, or indeed contact your local library service to get a copy. If a record is from a conference and does not show more than one page number then the record/abstract on the page is the complete record. These are mainly a record of participation in a conference, such as a poster or a talk. Some of these records represent literally nothing more than a line.
