well, our (not yet released) Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling approach is geared specifically towards multi-subject (second-level) analysis with possible missing data. Iman's question is what to do if, in a <i>single</i> subject, there is more than one source in a given region of interest. How shall he select "the appropriate source?" My answer is another question: what does one mean by "the appropriate source?" For instance, there are many possible sources of EEG activity in the frontal cortex. If a subject produces multiple frontal components, the decision as to which to select depends on the specificity of the hypothesis being tested. If your hypothesis is restricted to a specific anatomical region in the frontal cortex, then you might localize the components -- using your choice of localization method (e.g. equiv. current dipole, minimum-norm, or beamforming) -- and select any component which localizes to this region. If your hypothesis is more general (e.g. you care only whether any frontal region interacts with any parietal region) then you should enter <b>all</b> candidate frontal and parietal sources into a <b>multivariate</b> model and examine the <b>partial</b> coherence (or perhaps multivariate granger causal, if you care about directed relationships) relationships between your variables of interest. As Makoto mentioned, this sort of thing is entirely possible in the SIFT framework. The handbook has some more details and references.<div>

</div>Jason and Scott, this Iman's question is legitimate. I have been<br>
asking the same question too. Other than Tim's new implementation of<br>
the Bayesian stuff in SIFT in future, what other conventional approach<br>
can help?<br>
