Sensitivity of the Projected Subtraction Approach to Mesh Degeneracies and Its Impact on the Forward Problem in EEG

Subtraction-based techniques are known for being theoretically rigorous and accurate methods for solving the forward problem in electroencephalography (EEG-FP) by means of the finite-element method. Within them, the projected subtraction (PS) approach is generally adopted because of its computational efficiency. Although this technique received the attention of the community, its sensitivity to degenerated elements is still poorly understood. In...
