The movement of potential field (potential flow) of frontal midline theta activity (Fm theta) as well as its potential distribution was examined in 7 subjects by using optical flow detection techniques in image processing. Electroencephalograms (EEGs) over the fronto-central region were recorded from 13 electrodes near the frontal midline (Fz) while the subjects were performing a mental task. The potential flow of Fm theta was estimated on a frame consisting of a square grid with Fz at its center. In regions anterior to Fz, the direction of potential flow was from lateral to medial, whereas it was from medial to lateral in regions posterior to Fz. The peak-to-trough amplitude distribution was round or oval with a maximum just anterior to Fz. The source density distribution showed the greatest potential along the midline in the frontal region and bilaterally symmetric smaller maximum areas mostly in the prefrontal regions. Our findings suggested the presence of 2 different source areas of opposite direction in each hemisphere in spite of a round or oval amplitude distribution.
