Sites on the Scalp and Cortical Functions

The Brain-Trainer approach uses the standard international 10-20 system that neuroscientists and neurologists use. This system is basically an address book to find specific locations on the scalp and the brain function that can be detected at that site.

The 10-20 sites are, in turn, located on larger geographic portions of the brain: frontal and pre-frontal cortex, sensory-motor strip, temporal lobes, parietal lobes, and occipital lobes. You can think of this as countries (the 10-20 sites) and continents (the larger locations/lobes of the brain).

This is not a comprehensive examination of every site, but you may find details on these locations in the following pages.
