A stochastic forward model is motivated by the many uncertain contributions that form the forward propagation model including the tissue conductivity distribution, the cortical surface, and electrode positions. We first present a hierarchical Bayesian framework for {EEG} source localization that jointly performs source and forward model reconstruction (SOFOMORE). Secondly, we evaluate the {SOFOMORE} model by comparison with source reconstruction methods that use fixed forward models. Simulated and real {EEG} data demonstrate that invoking a stochastic forward model leads to improved source estimates." }
