BMEN90033 2026: Volume Conductor Problem — 3D Visualisation

Dipole source
Electrode (+)
Electrode (−)
True field (homogeneous)
Recorded field (with tissues)

Toggle tissue layers to see how volume conductor effects attenuate and spatially low-pass filter the signal. Increase Source complexity to add higher spatial harmonics (quadrupole, octupole) — the volume conductor selectively removes these, leaving only the smooth dipole component.
