We wish to extract dipolar current sources in brain based on the electrical potential measured on the skull as is done in EEG. We formulate the problem for a three-layer spherical head model. We characterise silent sources(current sources that do not produce an electrical potential outside) for general source distributions and show that for dipolar sources the only silent source is the zero dipolar source. This leads to a unique extraction of dipolar current sources uniquely from the measured electrical potential. We discuss possible algorithms for the extraction these dipolar current sources. The presentation will be mainly based on the work I did for my master thesis and then I will say about what we hope to achieve during the thesis mainly generalising the sparsity to 1 purely unrectifiable supports and attempts at solving the critical point equation.
