Background:

Accurate electrode placement is crucial for high-density electroencephalography (EEG) studies.
Traditional methods for digitizing electrode positions can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a simplified and practical method for determining electrode positions in high-density EEG.
To reduce experimental setup time and minimize digitization errors.

Main Methods:

A reference dataset of all electrode positions is created for each cap.
Only a subset of control electrode positions (e.g., International 10-20 system) are digitized in experimental conditions.
Remaining electrode positions are calculated using local transformations based on nearby control channels.

Main Results:

The developed method significantly reduces the number of electrodes requiring direct 3D digitization.
Evaluation across six BioSemi ActiveTwo caps demonstrated a mean prediction error of approximately 2mm.
This error is comparable to the inherent uncertainty of direct digitization methods.

Conclusions:

The proposed method offers a practical and efficient approach for high-density EEG electrode localization.
It effectively minimizes experimental setup time and potential digitization inaccuracies.
This technique maintains a high level of accuracy suitable for demanding EEG research.
