  • Title: Three-channel Lissajous' trajectories of auditory event-related potentials to target stimuli.
    Author: Attias J, Pratt H.
    Journal: Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol; 1990; 77(2):127-33. PubMed ID: 1690112.
    Abstract:
    Three orthogonal recordings ('X,' 'Y' and 'Z') of event-related potentials (ERPs) evoked by auditory target stimuli were represented in 3-dimensional voltage-space, to produce 3-channel Lissajous' trajectories (3-CLTs). Stimuli were verbal or non-verbal and were differentiated by their pitch, phonemic or phonetic attributes. Visual inspection and quantitative evaluations unexpectedly revealed that the 3-CLT of these ERPs strongly resembles a 'hair-pin' trajectory. This trajectory titled in space at characteristic angles with each of the analysis axes: 133 degrees with the 'X' axis, 87 degrees with the 'Y' axis, and 54 degrees with the 'Z' axis. The relatively small inter-subject variability observed in the geometrical measures, particularly in orientation, may be attributed to the slight variation in the underlying generators. 3-CLT analysis could be useful in future clinical as well as source studies of ERP generators.
