Abstract
An estimating method according to an embodiment is an estimating method for estimating a region of nerve activity, the estimation method including estimating which nerve bundle has conducted an electric current in a subject, based on information representing a three-dimensional structure of nerve bundles and information representing a distribution of a magnetic field near a surface of the subject.
Claims16
An estimating method for estimating a region of nerve activity, the estimation method comprising:
- estimating which nerve bundle has conducted an electric current in a subject, based on information representing a three-dimensional structure of nerve bundles and information representing a distribution of a magnetic field near a surface of the subject.
An estimating apparatus for estimating a region of nerve activity, the estimating apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to:
