Abstract
Conclusions
It has been shown that the important characteristic amplitude properties of the alpha component of the normal human EEG, in the usual monopolar and bipolar derivations primarily depend on the attenuating properties of the tissue through which the potential difference is transmitted. Moreover, noting the correspondence between waveforms seen in the normal EEG and those produced by an artificial occipital electric dipole in the cadaver, it is clear that the spread of an occipital electric disturbance is an excellent model for the production of the amplitude characteristics of the basic alpha component of the normal EEG.
