Abstract

Owing to their millisecond-scale temporal resolution, magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) are well-suited tools to study dynamic functional connectivity between regions in the human brain. However, current techniques to estimate functional connectivity from MEG/EEG are based on a two-step approach; first, the MEG/EEG inverse problem is solved to estimate the source activity, and second, connectivity is estimated between the sources. In this work, we propose a method for simultaneous estimation of source activities and their dynamic functional connectivity using a Kalman filter. Based on simulations, our approach can reliably estimate source activities and resolve their time-varying interactions even at low SNR (
