The electrical activity between electrode pais in this bipolar montage is compared. BB, EEG activity of an awake human subject, At the beginning of the recording, the EEG shows low-voltage (crce 20 wN) activity nthe pe Trew Ts ‘over the surface of the scalp. The vertical lines are placed at 1~ s intervals. During the fist 8 8 the subject rested quietly with ‘eyes open, then closed his eyes. Note the develosment of largerampitude (8-10 Hz) activity over the occipital region (treces 3-r4, 4-05, 85, 12-13, 18-16, and 16-+13). This is the normal alpha rhythm characteristic of the relaxed, wakeful state, Note the slow large-emplitude eye blink artifact at 3.5 s ‘and the artifact on eye closure at 9. Calibration 1 s, 100 wV.
