[Eeglablist] Within-Subject Comparisons

[Scott Makeig]

Fiona -

I have just seen this email, which seems to have gone unanswered in
December. Unfortunately, separating the electrode channels into left vs.
right will not cleanly separate brain activity generated in the two
hemispheres because of the broad spread of volume conduction from
anywhere in the brain (e.g., cortex) to the scalp. Using ICA decomposition,
however, you could separate right from left hemispheric activities.
