Electrodes and Montages

Abstract

Many issues related to electrodes and montages are the same with for cEEG as for routine EEG and long-term video EEG monitoring. Electrodes must be applied in a safe, reliable/reproducible, and standardized way to provide adequate spatial and temporal representation of cerebral activity. The montages used should allow for adequate visualization of activities of interest. However, there are several unique considerations for cEEG with respect to both.
