There is a growing interest in portable, non-invasive brain monitoring technologies in the field of personalised healthcare. This is well in-line with the needs of the European population for accurate and fast neurological diagnostics and targeted treatment.

As an example, there are 6 million people in Europe who suffer from epilepsy. In most hospital units, the standard practice for brain activity monitoring is to use electroencephalography (EEG) devices due to their high temporal resolution and broad availability.

The accurate localisation of the active parts of the brain with the help of EEG scalp recordings, i.e. the EEG source imaging, is a crucial part of correct diagnostics. For the EEG source imaging, the neuroimaging community relies on EEG software that requires inputs from specialised auxiliary imaging tools or manual calibrations.
