Abstract
In the following discussion, theoretical data will be presented comparing the relative effectiveness of mono-polar and closely spaced bi-polar electrodes in localizing the position of a region of evoked cortical activity. The basis for comparison of the two electrode systems is the ability to reject signals produced by sources of electrical activity other than those cortical sources directly below the recording electrode(s). It is assumed that the maximum sensitivity of the two systems is a relatively unimportant consideration since sensitivity is effectively increased by commonly used averaging techniques.
