Summary EEG relationships in δ, θ, α and β frequency bands as well as the whole frequency range among 12 electrode locations during resting and mental arithmetic were examined by use of Shannon-Gelfand-Yaglom information measure (SGY) in 10 normal subjects. The EEG relationships were represented in a 3-dimensional (3-D) feature space with multidimensional scaling (MDS). MDS resulted in an anterior-posterior, a left-right and an upper-lower axis. In all 5 frequency bands, the 12 electrodes on the anterior-posterior and left-right axes resembled their actual positions on the scalp during resting and mental arithmetic. During mental arithmetic, prominent changes in the 3-D representation of electrode sites were visualized for activity. The isolation of left and right mid-temporal locations, together with greater EEG distances between left and right mid-temporal locations, were notable during mental arithmetic, suggesting the simultaneous activation possibly in dominant and non-dominant hemispheres and contralateral influences from left to right mid-temporal locations.
