TABLE 1.

Conductivity values (in S/m) of the three models created and used for the sensitivity study: 6CA, six‐compartment head model with anisotropic white matter; 4CI, four‐compartment isotropic head model and 3CI, three‐compartment isotropic head model. The column (:) indicates when the compartment has been split, for example, skull compartment divided between skull compacta and skull spongiosa; while the dash (−) indicates that the compartment has been neglected in the head model. Note that the white matter anisotropic value (i.e., 0.14 S/m) refers to the mean value of the tensor that fits the conductivity value of the isotropic white matter (Vorwerk et al., 2014)
