  • Summary

    Localization is the art of locating the site of maximal potential, presumably the origin of a waveform of interest. The EEG is relatively blind to certain cortical regions such as the sulcal depths, inferior surfaces of the brain, and infoldings such as the insula. Localization depends on the montage in use and the rule of polarity. Phase reversal is the key to localization with a bipolar montage. Maximal amplitude is the key to localization with a referential montage. Phase reversals are usually but not always adjacent. Nonadjacent phase reversals are separated by an isopotential channel (near flat line). Foci located at the end of a chain in a bipolar montage don’t show a phase reversal. An apparent phase reversal on a referential montage may indicate a horizontal dipole or an active reference.
