https://www.sciencenews.org/article/blender-whips-graphene Auditory brainstem response to complex sounds: a tutorial
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2868335/ For cABRs, a vertical one-channel montage is the most common configuration. This configuration requires only three electrodes corresponding to the active (non-inverting), reference (inverting) and ground electrodes. In our lab, the preferred electrode placements are Cz (active), ipsilateral earlobe (reference), and forehead or contralateral earlobe (ground). We prefer to use the earlobe rather than the mastoid because it is a non-cephalic site that causes fewer artifacts from bone vibration (Hall 2006). For researchers who intend to record subcortical and cortical potentials simultaneously (see below), or who wish to collect them within the same session, cABRs can be recorded with an electrode cap.
