Table 2.

Regions of interest (ROIs) selected for source mapping. The left column presents the brain networks considered, the middle column the brain areas involved in each network, and the right column the regions that were chosen from the Desikan-Killiany atlas as representative of these areas for our analysis. The selected ROIs represent a compromise between mapping regions from the three networks considered and the number of EEG channels used in this study. Furthermore, deep brain regions were not considered since these are unlikely to be recorded with EEG. Note that ROIs identified with an * comprised both left and right regions, meaning that we merged them (these were regions close to the brain’s midline). Note that the rostral middle frontal region appears twice on the right column because it belongs to both the default mode network and frontoparietal control network.
