Abstract

The investigation deals with the topography of principal sulci and of the temporal lobe within the international 10-20 system for electrode placement. Using magnetic resonance imaging in 16 healthy volunteers, the location and variability were studied for the superior central sulcus, the sylvian fissure, the calcarine sulcus and the anterobasal temporal lobe. Variation zones for these structures within the reference system are described. Craniocerebral variability was most pronounced in the areas remote from the relatively constant central and lateral sylvian region.

The results indicate that CT scanning or other neuroimaging techniques which reveal detailed cerebral anatomy would be potentially highly useful in defining the generators of electrocerebral potentials recorded from the scalp.

At the Colloquium on Teaching Methods in Electroencephalography of the American EEG Society ( 1959), a strong plea was made for all EEG laboratories to give up their individually devised numbering systems and electrode placements and to adopt a common language and common system, namely, the 10-20 electrode system proposed by the International Federation (Jasper 1958).
