Global Field Power measurement versus classical method in the determination of the latency of evoked potential components
Abstract
The Global Field Power measurement (GFPM) was proposed as a method for the determination of component latency in multichannel evoked potential (EP) recordings (Lehmann and Skrandies 1980). In contrast to the classical method (CM) of peak latency determination using only two or three electrodes, multichannel recordings deal with data from twenty or more recording electrodes. We compared the GFPM and CM in evoked potential recordings. Sixty five subjects volunteered for 3 different response tasks. In a P3 oddball paradigm targets consisted of 2000 Hz tonebursts, nontargets of 1000 Hz tonebursts. Flash and Pattern Visual Evoked Potentials (VEP) also were recorded. At peak GFPM latency we found steeper voltage gradients than at CM latency. Both N200 and P300 had a significantly different topography at latencies determined by GFPM than at latencies determined by CM. For VEP we did not find a significant difference between CM and GFPM. Our Data suggests that multichannel recording adds additional dimensions to EP measurements and that only GFPM leads to an unbiased data-reduction as it determinesone momentary map in time which has maximal field strength.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
