Electric Source Imaging (ESI) is an emerging technique that identifies the source of brain electrical activity by utilizing the spatial and temporal components of EEG recorded on the scalp. ESI appears to be a promising methodology for epilepsy evaluation as well as other neurological disorders based on the present body of research; nevertheless, the precise clinical relevance of ESI localization remains to be explored. This review paper aims to present the basic theoretical aspects of ESI and its clinical applications along with the currently available softwares for implementing this cutting-edge technology by examining some of the key studies performed in the field, with emphasis given to clinical work published in the recent years.
