If the parasagittal plane measures 26 cm where is F4 to be marked if 0 is placed on O2?

If the parasagittal plane measures 26 cm where is F4 to be marked if 0 is placed on O2?

• A. -20.5cm
• B. -19cm
• C. -20cm
• D. -19.5cm

Answer: (D)

In the context of the 10-20 system used for EEG electrode placement, the parasagittal plane is important for understanding how to correctly position electrodes based on landmarks such as O2 and F4. When 0 (the midline or reference point) is placed on O2, which is typically located around 20 cm from the nasion along the inion-nasion line, the positioning of F4 will depend on measuring from this reference point. Given that the parasagittal plane measures 26 cm, the positioning of F4 involves determining where along this line F4 lies. The standard separation between the F4 and O2 sites in the 10-20 system is approximately 6 cm. If O2 is at 0 cm, F4 would be placed at approximately +6 cm rightward from the midline based on this standardization. However, when we look for the corresponding negative measurement in the context provided (with 0 being at O2), we must measure back towards the 0 point. Because F4 is around 20.5 cm from the midline (which results in F4 being slightly more lateral), the position can be approximated. Thus, F4 being marked at
