“…The underlying idea of this procedure is that potential fields with few field lines presumably contain little information while scalp fields displaying much activity reflect the synchronous activation of a large number of intracranial neuronal elements. The GFP has been used in studies of perceptual, attentional, cognitive processing (e.g., Dierks and Maurer, 1989; Skrandies, 1991; Rodin, 1991; Michel et al, 1993; Rau et al, 2002; Boonstra et al, 2013; Ahonen et al, 2016) as well as in clinical studies (e.g., Rodin, 1990; Maurer et al, 1990; Strik et al, 1994; Favrod et al, 2017; Giroud et al, 2017; Iannilli et al, 2017). The GFP constitutes a good index for the temporal determination of information from cognitive studies, furthermore it has become a commonly used parameter for the time-domain analysis of EEG (as in the present study), since it allows to identify the maps of maximal electric field strength (hilliness).…”
