1. Method of positioning electrodes in an electrode array comprising at least five electrodes for central nervous system (CNS) monitoring from the forehead of a patient'"'"'s head, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a first electrode above the eyebrows near frontalis and orbicularis muscles of the patient;
positioning a second electrode above the first electrode the fronto-lateral area of the frontal lobe of the patient and on the same hemisphere as the first electrode;
positioning a third electrode above the eyebrows near frontalis and orbicularis muscles of the patient at the opposite hemisphere when compared to the first electrode;
positioning a fourth electrode above the third electrode on the fronto-lateral area of the frontal lobe of the patient and on the same hemisphere as the third electrode; and
positioning a fifth electrode on the patient'"'"'s skin.

Abstract
Method of positioning electrodes in an electrode array, comprising at least five or at least seven electrodes for central nervous system (CNS) monitoring from the forehead of a patient'"'"'s head. The electrodes of the array are optimally located for discriminating EEG, FEMG and EM components from the recorded biopotential signals.
