     The signals were bandpass-filtered to 0.03–330 Hz and sampled at 1 kHz. Four head-position-indicator coils were attached to the subject's scalp, and head coordinates were registered with a 3D digitizer by identifying the locations of the coils together with the locations of three anatomical landmarks (nasion and left and right preauricular points) and some additional points on the scalp.
