Abstract
A variety of electroencephalographic techniques are used routinely in clinical and research situations to observe and/or record the manifestations of the electrical activity arising in the brain. It is assumed that these electrophysiologic signals reflect an integrated response of the clinical state of the brain and hence are indicative of the subject 's state-of-being with respect to his internal and external environments. Because such signals represent the superposition of the action currents generated by numerous distributed bioelectric sources contained in a non-homogeneous volume conductor, it is postulated that the efficacy of information retrieval could be enhanced if it were possible to make a quantitative determination of the extent to which such spatially disparate sources contribute to the potentials measured at arbitrary sampling points on the scalp.
