Comparisons of the Spatial Resolution between Disc and Tripolar Concentric Ring Electrodes

چکیده
We compared the half sensitivity volume and the common spatial subspace decomposition of visual evoked potentials as measures of spatial resoulion between conventional disc electrodes and tripolar concentric ring electrodes with a computer simulation. The results suggest that tripolar concentric ring electrodes can achieve much higher spatial resolution than conventional disc electrodes.

Improving the accuracy of Laplacian estimation with novel multipolar concentric ring electrodes.
Conventional electroencephalography with disc electrodes has major drawbacks including poor spatial resolution, selectivity and low signal-to-noise ratio that are critically limiting its use. Concentric ring electrodes, consisting of several elements including the central disc and a number of concentric rings, are a promising alternative with potential to improve all of the aforementioned aspec...
متن کاملTranscranial current stimulation focality using disc and ring electrode configurations: FEM analysis.
We calculated the electric fields induced in the brain during transcranial current stimulation (TCS) using a finite-element concentric spheres human head model. A range of disc electrode configurations were simulated: (1) distant-bipolar; (2) adjacent-bipolar; (3) tripolar; and three ring designs, (4) belt, (5) concentric ring, and (6) double concentric ring. We compared the focality of each co...
متن کاملImproving the Accuracy of Laplacian Estimation with Novel Variable Inter-Ring Distances Concentric Ring Electrodes
Noninvasive concentric ring electrodes are a promising alternative to conventional disc electrodes. Currently, the superiority of tripolar concentric ring electrodes over disc electrodes, in particular, in accuracy of Laplacian estimation, has been demonstrated in a range of applications. In our recent work, we have shown that accuracy of Laplacian estimation can be improved with multipolar con...
متن کاملActive flexible concentric ring electrode for non-invasive surface bioelectrical recordings
Bioelectrical surface recordings are usually performed by unipolar or bipolar disc electrodes even though they entail the serious disadvantage of having poor spatial resolution. Concentric ring electrodes give improved spatial resolution, although this type of electrode has so far only been implemented in rigid substrates and as they are not adapted to the curvature of the recording surface may...
متن کاملImprovement of spatial selectivity and decrease of mutual information of tri-polar concentric ring electrodes.
Electroencephalography (EEG) signals are spatio-temporal in nature. EEG has very good temporal resolution but typically does not possess high spatial resolution. The surface Laplacian enhances the spatial resolution and selectivity of the surface electrical activity recording. Concentric ring electrodes have been shown to estimate the surface Laplacian directly with significantly better spatial...
