  • Summary

    Models of extracellular potentials are typically based on treating brain tissue as a continuous volume conductor. An important parameter, or sometimes variable, in volume-conductor theory is the conductivity. Here, we present both theoretical and experimental estimates of the conductivity of brain tissue. A common modeling approximation is to assume that the conductivity does not vary with position, is the same in all directions, and does not depend on the frequency of the electric signal. With references to both experimental and theoretical studies, we discuss whether these approximations are reasonable, and we introduce ways to relax these approximations in models.
