Source analysis was implemented with a toolbox named SPM12,2 based on the MATLAB platform (MathWorks Inc., United States). The procedures were as follows: (1) EEGLAB data were converted to the SPM12-readable format; (2) the EEG sensor positions were linked to the coordinate system of MRI (MNI coordinates), which is a process known as co-registration; (3) using the Greedy search-based algorithm, an inverse reconstruction of the scalp electrode signals into the three-dimensional (3D) brain source signals was carried out; and (4) a factorial design was used to investigate the main effects and the group × condition interaction. Please refer to our previous work for more details (Gao et al., 2017 (link)).
