The article examines two main methods of recording the activity of cerebral neuron sources – electroand magneto-encephalography. A spherical and an ellipsoidal model of the head are considered. EEG and MEG data are shown to depend on the initial parameters (source position and orientation). The two methods can be combined for solving the inverse problem of electroencephalography.
