Closing the temporal blind spot: Six additional electrodes increase patient‐level <scp>EEG</scp> abnormality detection by ~12%
The addition of six inferior-temporal electrodes increased the relative detection yield of EEG abnormalities by 11.5%, with the largest gains for temporal IEDs, and required only minimal extra setup time. Although the true diagnostic accuracy of these additional detections cannot be determined without an external gold standard, the findings support the routine use of the IFCN 25-electrode array to address a major blind spot of the 10-20 system in adult EEG practice.
