bipolar recording montage - Answers each electrode is referenced to an adjacent neighbor
referential recording montage - Answers all electrodes are referenced to a single reference
electrode
physiological artifacts - Answers
extraphysiological artifacts - Answers electrical noise in the EEG that originate from outside the
body (EX. 60 Hz AC line noise, interferences)
strengths of scalp EEG - Answers excellent temporal resolution, low cost, low morbidity, readily
repeatable
latency - Answers delay between an arbitrary event (stimulus) and another event
reactivity - Answers activity or behavior of the subject that affects the waveform
alpha waves - Answers f: 8-13 Hz
location: stronger in occipital areas
reactivity: best when eyes closed
mu waves - Answers subset of alpha
f: 8-10 Hz
location: stronger in centroparietal areas
reactivity: decreases in amplitude with contralateral arm movement, the thought of a movement,
or tactile stimulation
beta waves - Answers f: 13-30 Hz
location: mostly frontal and parietal
reactivity: mental tasks and concentration, sleep stages 1 and 2, decreases during deep sleep
stages
theta rhythm - Answers f: 4-8 Hz
location: parietal and temporal regions
reactivity: early sleep stages (hypnagogic), dreaming states, emotional arousal, navigation
delta rhythm - Answers f: 0.5-4 Hz
