Question

The electrodes (also called leads) used for human electroencephalography in a 10-20 lead system are labeled with an uppercase letter and a subscript number or a letter. Which one of the following is INCORRECT meaning of the labels of electrodes?

A.

The uppercase letter is an abbreviation of the location of the electrode on the head

B.

The electrodes over the left hemisphere are labeled with a subscript odd number along with the uppercase letter

C.

The electrodes on the midline of the head are labeled with a subscript even number x along with the uppercase letter

D.

The electrodes over right hemisphere are labeled with a subscript even number along with the uppercase letter

Correct option is C

Explanation-

Option a : "The uppercase letter is an abbreviation of the location of electrode on the head"  - CORRECT
For example:
F = Frontal
C = Central
P = Parietal
O = Occipital
T = Temporal
Option b : "The electrodes over left hemisphere are labeled with a subscript odd number along with the uppercase letter"  - CORRECT
Odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7) indicate left hemisphere placements.
Option c : "The electrodes on the midline of head are labeled with the subscript letter x along with the uppercase letter" - INCORRECT
Midline electrodes are labeled with the number 0 (not "x").
Example: Fz, Cz, Pz – the 'z' stands for "zero line" or midline.
Option d : "The electrodes over right hemisphere are labeled with a subscript even number along with the uppercase letter" - CORRECT
Even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8) are used for right hemisphere placements.

Final Answer:
Statement c is incorrect, hence Option c is the right choice for the question.
