Determining electrode positions is crucial for multi-channel electrophysiology (EP) recordings. This study presents a practical method to accurately measure electrode locations on the head after placement, improving source localization accuracy.

Area of Science:

Electrophysiology
Biomedical Engineering
Neuroscience

Background:

Accurate electrode positioning is essential for multi-channel electrophysiology (EP) recordings and source localization.
Traditional methods of fixing electrodes at predetermined positions often lack precision.
Precise electrode placement is critical for reliable inverse solutions in EP studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a practical method for determining electrode positions on the head for EP recordings.
To provide a post-placement measurement technique that overcomes the inaccuracies of a priori electrode fixation.
To develop a method that also identifies the best-fitting sphere for electrode positions, aiding multi-sphere volume conductor models.

Main Methods:

A practical method was developed to measure electrode positions on the head after they have been placed.
