Do you think full-skull (cap) montages produce more reliable P300 responses?
Answer
Caps, in an of themselves, do not produce better P300s. Rather, caps allow for a broader coverage of the head surface and allows one to record the P300 across the head. Cz may not be the most optimal site on the head. It may be Pz. It depends on what your goal is with measuring P300.
