This new method is superior to conventional polygraphy because of the topographic approach which delineates structural Summary The average reference introduces ghost potential fields at the latencies for which the integral of scalp-recorded potentials differs from zero. These spurious effects occur because the average reference is computed from a limited number of (scalp) electrodes

It has been known since the late nineteenth century that the brain is spatially specialised by function [2]. But the regions associated with specific functions like speaking or motor activity are very In the course of human history, the concept of localization of the function within the brain is new. Early in the 19th century localization of brain function, including emotions and higher cognitive function, began as a pseudoscience.
