✗ SSVEP
SSVEP needs occipital coverage (O1/O2/Oz).
✓ P300
P300 is largest at central-parietal midline (Pz/Cz).
✗ Motor imagery
Motor imagery needs sensorimotor electrodes C3/C4.
✓ Alpha rhythm
Occipital alpha shows up over posterior sites.
✓ Frontal ERP
Frontal ERPs / attention markers need frontal electrodes.
SYNTH EEG
Good for P300, Alpha rhythm, Frontal ERP. Not suited to SSVEP, Motor imagery.
