Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • The choice of electroencephalograph (EEG) reference significantly impacts functional connectivity estimation (FCE).
  • Understanding reference influence is crucial for reliable brain connectivity studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the influence of different EEG references on functional connectivity estimation (FCE).
  • To evaluate the performance of REST (Reference Electrode Standardization Technique) against average reference (AR), linked mastoids (LM), and left mastoid (LR) references.

Main Methods:

  • Simulations using dipolar sources with varying locations and orientations.
  • Comparison of functional connectivity matrices derived from different references against ideal recordings.
  • Metrics used: Relative Error (RE) and Hamming Distance (HD) to quantify differences in scalp functional connectivity graphs (FCGs).

Main Results:

  • AR, LM, and LR references show good performance only under specific source orientation or location conditions.
  • REST demonstrates stable and excellent performance across diverse source locations and orientations.
  • REST consistently yields lower RE and HD values, indicating higher similarity to ideal functional connectivity.

Conclusions:

  • REST is a robust and stable reference method for EEG functional connectivity analysis.
  • REST-based FCGs are likely to more accurately recover true brain connectivity compared to other methods.
  • REST offers a reliable approach for comparing EEG functional connectivity across different research settings.
