+//! GPU-Accelerated Finite Element Head Modeling for MEG/EEG forward solutions.
+//!
+//! This crate provides realistic head models using the Finite Element Method (FEM)
+//! with GPU-accelerated solvers for computing electric potentials and lead fields.
+//!
+//! ## Key Features
+//!
+//! - **Tetrahedral Meshing**: Automatic mesh generation from FreeSurfer surfaces
+//! - **Multi-Layer Models**: Support for scalp, skull, CSF, gray/white matter
+//! - **Anisotropic Conductivity**: DTI-based white matter anisotropy
+//! - **GPU Acceleration**: Leverages rtx-fea for fast sparse solvers
+//! - **Lead Field Computation**: Efficient gain matrix calculation
+//!
+//! ## Head Model Layers
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+//! │           Scalp (σ=0.43 S/m)        │
+//! ├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+//! │           Skull (σ=0.01 S/m)        │  ← Anisotropic

+//! ├─────────────────────────────────────┤
+//! │  White Matter (σ=0.14 S/m tensor)   │  ← Anisotropic from DTI
+//! └─────────────────────────────────────┘

+//!
+//! ## Example
+//!
+//! ```ignore
+//! use rtx_neuro_fem::{HeadFEM, HeadFEMConfig, TissueConfig};
+//!
+//! // Create FEM model from FreeSurfer surfaces
+//! let config = HeadFEMConfig::standard_5_layer();
+//!
+//! let mut fem = HeadFEM::new(config)?;
+//!
+//! // Generate mesh from surfaces
+//! fem.mesh_from_surfaces(&surfaces)?;
