Independent Component Analysis for Source Localization of EEG Sleep Spindle Components

Table 1

Local maxima of LORETA current source density distributions for the original EEG, for the three parts (A, B, and C, resp.) into which the single-spindle timeframe was divided. The local maxima greater than or equal to 50% of the global maximum are shown (49% for the part C subtable). Coordinates are in mm. Origin at anterior commisure. For , negative values represent left; positive values represent right. For , negative values represent posterior; positive values represent anterior. For , negative values represent inferior; positive values represent superior. Brodmann areas (BA) and both descriptions of the anatomical regions are shown.
