Methods like dipole source localization require an exact specification of the co-ordinates of electrode positions. Different values for the co-ordinates of F3, F4, P3 and P4 are encountered in literature. This is due to the unexpected complexity of the calculations involved and aggravated by an inaccurate but widely used control procedure for the placement of these electrodes. We present a table of co-ordinates for the 10-20 system together with a method for determining the co-ordinates of mid-way positions within the 10-20 system. The consequence of using erroneous co-ordinates on the accuracy of dipole source localization is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
