For each simulated radial dipole, the resultant EEG at 32 electrodes, as specified by the 10–20 International electrode placement system, was calculated. Additive white Gaussian noise was then added to the noise-free data under four different signal-to-noise ratios conditions, namely 25 dB, 15 dB, 10 dB and 5 dB. To perform a Monte-Carlo analysis, for each of the 108 positions considered and for each SNR, 100 trials were simulated where the difference between trials is simply a different additive noise vector.
