Abstract
Two basic methods for recording the activity of neural sources of the human brain are considered: magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG). Homogeneous and spherical models of a head are used. Boundary integral equations for the direct MEG/EEG problem are obtained and analytical solutions of these equations in both cases are presented. The dependence of these solutions on their initial data (the position and the orientation of a source) is shown.
