Can I compare EEG channels between different electrode caps?

Different EEG caps use different labels and especially different electrode placements. However, sometimes you want to relate the different electrodes from one layout to another.

Here is a schematic layout of the easycapM10 and easycapM11 electrode caps.

easycapM10 - Equidistant 61-Channel-Arrangement

easycapM11 - 61-Channel-Arrangement ("10%-System") (used in BrainCap64)

We can see that the channel Cz from M10 relates to the channel 1 from M11. However for the channel FT10 there exist non relating channel in the M11. So we can only make a few-to-few mapping with channels that mostly overlap.

Mapping between easycapM10 and easycapM11:

1  - Cz
2  - FCz
5  - CPz
8  - Fz
11 - C4
14 - Pz
17 - C3
20 - AFz
35 - Fpz
39 - T8
43 - Oz
47 - T7
50 - Fp1
