New review charts landscape of inferring brain activity from scalp EEG

A new review paper published on arXiv details the landscape of inferring intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) data from scalp EEG. The paper proposes a framework to distinguish between event inference, feature translation, and waveform reconstruction, while also separating predictability from observability. Current research shows promise in inferring selected intracranial events and low-frequency components, but not the unique recovery of arbitrary contact-level activity. The authors emphasize the need for stronger validation, including appropriate controls, source-imaging baselines, and uncertainty assessment, to demonstrate the added value of virtual iEEG beyond traditional scalp EEG and EEG source imaging.

    Virtual iEEG from Scalp EEG: Charting the Landscape of Source Imaging, Intracranial Inference and Reconstruction

    arXiv:2608.26998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) provides temporally precise and spatially specific access to neural activity from focal and deep brain regions, but its invasiveness and restricted anatomical coverage limit routine use. Th…
