Aim of the work
• Localizing the sources of electrical brain activity the most relevant for performance of motor imagery based BCI using individual head model.
• Verifying the results of localization with clusters of fMRI activity.
Procedure
Eight subjects have been training to control BCI for 10 days (1 session a day).

Block: 4 tasks are permuted randomly
3 blocks, no feedback 7 blocks, feedback is on
Session
On the 10-th day fMRI session was carried out for each subject, with the same instructions presented

EEG = ×W1
Column of weights Wi is a contribution of thei-th independent component into the signal at all channels

Bell-Sejnowski algorithm was used
Extraction of patterns of EEG activity. Step 2. Independent Component Selection
1. Check all triples of independent components using Kohen`s Kappa, κ,obtained by cross-validation (7 blocks testing set, 3 blocks training set, 100 trials)
2. Add a component to the previously obtained set so that κ is maximal3. Repeat until all components are selected
Dependence of κ on the number of IC (Ncmp)
Individual maximum (subject & session dependent): artifact elimination
Optimal triple:the most relevant sources
All ICs: equiv. toEEG channels used

Extraction of patterns of EEG activity. Step 2. The most relevant components
These components appeared in optimal triples almost for each session

Conclusions and future work
Conclusions
1. The method allows for identification of sources of the brain electrical activity the mostrelevant to motor imagery based BCI performance
2. The relevant sources were localized at the bottom of the central sulcus, i.e. close to the hand representation areas, close to the foot representation area, and in supplementary motor cortex
Future research plans
3. Introduce anisotropy into the model
4. Create fast precise localization instrument for each subject using reciprocal approach. The instrument can be then used as a base for creation of source location-based BCI which idea and implementation has attracted researchers` attention recently.
