Internal consistency of dipole localizations for the human movement-evoked magnetic field component 1 (MEF 1)

Neurosci Lett. 1996 Aug 30;215(1):45-8. doi: 10.1016/s0304-3940(96)12952-9.

Abstract

The present magnetoencephalographic study was conducted in order to assess the accuracy of dipole localizations for the movement-evoked field component 1 (MEF 1). Three male subjects were requested to perform self-paced flexions of their index finger and thumb in repeated sessions of 60 trials while the neuromagnetic field was recorded by a 31 channel system. Single moving dipole localizations were performed for the MEF 1. The error within single sessions was calculated by split-half reliability and window-homogeneity in a total of 61 sessions. The mean spatial deviation between both halves amounted to 3.8 mm. The window-homogeneity was found to be 2 mm deviation/10 ms.
