EEG test using only frontal lobe locations

collig14 · January 2017

Hi there..

I'm trying to find a test which can be used to confirm EEG using only frontal positions (F2p1, Fp2, F3, F4, Fz) .

In other words, I'm trying to find a test like difference in alpha peak with eyes open/closed from occipital lobe (O1/O2), except from frontal lobe locations.

I tried using the Stroop test, which I hoped to see an increase in delta waves from Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (F3).

I haven't gotten consistent results to confirm this.

Then I made a program to do a Sternberg Paradigm test (easy task = remember 3 numbers, difficult task = remember 5 numbers).

Papers suggest there should be increase in delta waves from frontal locations when completing the difficult task.

I tried at Fp1, Fp2, F3 and F4 with reference on my ear (A2).

Again, I can't make a consistent differentiation.

Anybody have any other such tests which can be completed using only frontal lobe locations?

Or anybody have any consistent results using the tests I named above?

Thanks
