[Eeglablist] Commonly used electrodes locations for the extraction of ERD/ERS/MRCP features

[Tarik S Bel-Bahar]

Hello Khaled,

If you search on google scholar for the following titles you can find
examples related to your topic.
Further, with ICA, you get a independent components that are assumed to be
"cortical representations" or "cortical source patches"
that are involved in generating the eeg pattern. My recommendation is that
you first start by trying to replicate
some of the examples you see in published studies, with or without ICA.
The "best" cortical source representation of EEG activity is
heavily-debated topic, and there are many techniques to try to determine
what that source representation may be.
As Makoto suggested, if you run ICA, you should get one or two ICs that
show ERD/ERSD over or near the motor cortex.

Good luck with your eeg adventures, below are the articles titles you
should take a look at via Google Scholar, if you have not had a chance to
already.
Feel free to also search on Google Scholar for other recent articles on
your topic in top-level journals.
