                 estimation (LRCE) method using simulated annealing
                 optimization on high-resolution finite element models that
                 individually optimizes a realistically shaped four-layer
                 volume conductor with regard to the brain and skull
                 compartment conductivities. As input data, the method
                 needs T1- and PD-weighted magnetic resonance images for an
                 improved modeling of the skull and the cerebrospinal fluid
                 compartment and evoked potential data with high
                 signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Our simulation studies showed
                 that for EEG data with realistic SNR, the LRCE method was
                 able to simultaneously reconstruct both the brain and the
                 skull conductivity together with the underlying dipole
                 source and provided an improved source analysis result. We
                 have also demonstrated the feasibility and applicability
                 of the new method to simultaneously estimate brain and
                 skull conductivity and a somatosensory source from
                 measured tactile somatosensory-evoked potentials of a
                 human subject. Our results show the viability of an
                 approach that computes its own conductivity values and
                 thus reduces the dependence on assigning values from the
                 literature and likely produces a more robust estimate of
                 current sources. Using the LRCE method, the individually
                 optimized four-compartment volume conductor model can, in
                 a second step, be used for the analysis of clinical or
                 cognitive data acquired from the same subject. Hum Brain
