Abstract
This work applies a novel method called multiquadratic interpolation that represents a 3D brain activity following a spatiotemporal mode. It also develops other classical interpolation techniques (barycentric, spline), which are based on the calculation of the Euclidean distance between the estimated and measured electrodes. Then, it modifies these methods by substituting the Euclidean distance by the corresponding arc length. Starting from 19 real electrodes for generating the electroencephalogram (EEG) potential representations of healthy subjects having three different behavioral brain states, a 3D EEG mapping of 128 electrodes was obtained. The proposed multiquadratic interpolation is evaluated by comparing it with the other methods by calculating the root mean squared error and processing time means.
