Spatiotemporal Analysis of Multichannel EEG: CARTOOL
Figure 1
The reference issue in EEG: EEG waveform analysis is reference-dependent while topographical analysis is not. (a) Statistical comparison of evoked potential waveforms of two conditions (illusory contours versus no contours from [10]) for each electrode and each time point. Left: All electrodes referenced to the nose, right: all electrodes referenced to the Average Reference. Note the change of the results in time as well as in space. (b) Scalp potential map (seen from top) referenced to different electrodes. Top: color maps. Middle: same maps displayed with isopotential lines. Bottom: same maps displayed in relief with the zero level indicated. Note that the topography of the maps does not change, only the zero line and thus the color codes change.
