## Introduction

Constructing accurate subject specific head model is of main interest in the fields of source imaging (EEG/MEG) and brain stimulation (tDCS/tMS). *shamo* is an open source python package to calculate EEG leadfields, current flows, and electric potential distribution in the head. From a labelled 3D image of the head, the whole process is fully automatized, relying only on a few parameter files, e.g. conductivities (including white matter anisotropy) plus source and electrode locations. Since there is no non-invasive method to measure the electromagnetic (EM) properties of the head tissues, *shamo* can also be used to assess the sensitivity of the EM head model to these parameters.

## Philosophy

The idea leading the development of *shamo* is to provide a versatile, intuitive and extendable toolbox for electromagnetic modelling of the head.
Every object is though to be savable/loadable as a dictionary and stored as a JSON file on disk.
*shamo* is built around three main concepts:

1. **Problem:** The definition of a task to perform. Computing the EEG leadfield or simulating tDCS for examples.
1. **Solution:** The object resulting from the resolution of a problem.
1. **Surrogate:** If the problem-solution pair is parametric, e.g. some parameters are random variables, surrogate can be used to produce parametric models.

One of the leading rules while working on *shamo* was to use already existing quality tools to perform key steps.
Thus, the finite element generation is achieved by interfacing with [CGAL](https://www.cgal.org/) and [Gmsh](https://gmsh.info/), the physical problem resolution is done with [GetDP](https://getdp.info/), the Gaussian processes are generated with [scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/) and the sensitivity analysis uses [SALib](https://salib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

## Documentation

The documentation of *shamo* is available [here](https://cyclotronresearchcentre.github.io/shamo/index.html) and tutorials are available in the form of jupyter notebooks in [this repository](https://github.com/CyclotronResearchCentre/shamo-tutorials).

## FAQ

### Where does the name *"shamo"* come from?
The name *"shamo"*, pronounced [ʃɑ:mɔ:], stands for *"Stochastic HeAd MOdelling"*.

In french, it sounds like the word *"chameau"* which is the translation for *"camel"*. This is a reference to the bematists, those ancient greek and egyptians who were able to measure distances with a high accuracy by counting the steps of a camel. They were involved in the accurate calculation of the circumference of the Earth by limiting distance measurement errors.

As did the old bematists, this tool aims at raising the accuracy in outcome of neuro- studies by providing more insights on the errors involved.
