Claim One:
1. A method for near-real time three-dimensional localization of electrical activity in the brain comprising: applying electrodes to a subject's scalp and associated connectors; connecting the electrodes to an amplifier/recorder and connecting the amplifier/recorder to a computer; utilizing said amplifier/recorder to receive electrical signals transmitted through said subject's scalp; capturing the electrical signals from said amplifier/recorder with said computer continuously as to provide respective time varying electrical signals, wherein capturing the electrical signals comprises sampling sets of digital values from the electrodes at an associated sampling rate corresponding to frames of captured electroencephalographic (EEG) data; processing said time varying electrical signals, using said computer, via an inverse solution approximation to provide a series of representations of localized electrical activity originating from said subject's brain on a three-dimensional solution space representing the subject's brain, such that each representation of the series of representations of localized electrical activity comprises a current density vector for each of a plurality of locations within the three-dimensional solution space and being calculated as a product of a corresponding frame of captured EEG data and a transformation matrix; and presenting the series of representations of the localized electrical activity to a human operator in near-real time.
