recommended electrode position to detect Theta waves in sleep?

aarohi1510001 · August 2017

Can anyone help me with finding the electrode position for Cortical Theta Waves for drowsiness state, I searched everywhere but didn't find it.

I'm using CYTON 8-BIT.

Thank you.

Have you looked through some of the research papers?

This paper recommends central or temporal sites. And the examples are recorded from C3 or C4.

Thank you for the help.

Yes I searched in many research papers, though they all tell different positions. Is it because theta waves generally cover the entire cerebral region?

Hey!.

Is it because theta waves generally cover the entire cerebral region?

- Yes. EEG in general do not have a good spatial resolution, but a good temporal one. So, to detect Theta waves in sleep, it should be enought to record at central cortex.

You might look at this paper: http://apsychoserver.psych.arizona.edu/jjbareprints/psyc501a/readings/Keenan Hirshkowitz 2011.pdf and https://www.google.de/search?client=ubuntu&hs=6ym&btnG=Buscar&q=Rechtshaffen+and+Kales+criteria++1968

Best, Pascal
