4-channel frontal live sLORETA

Key findings

  • sLORETA reconstruction remained usable with reduced scalp coverage under certain conditions
  • A prominent frontal asymmetry was reliably detected from only four frontal channels
  • Suggests a 4-channel frontal setup plus sLORETA can screen for frontal asymmetry in practice

This report tested whether the sLORETA source-localization method still gives useful results when fed far fewer scalp channels than it normally needs. Under some conditions, partial scalp data could be used to estimate underlying brain activity. In particular, when a clear frontal asymmetry was present, it could be detected reliably from just four frontal channels, which the authors see as a practical option for clinical screening.
