Provided herein are systems and methods for calculating patient information. The method includes determining a transfer matrix, recording electric potentials via a first set of recording electrodes located at a first set of recording locations to create a first set of recorded signals, and calculating patient information for a set of target locations by applying the transfer matrix to the first set of recorded signals. The transfer matrix is a characterization of electrical properties of tissue between the first set of recording locations and the set of target locations.
