Alternative sensor montage for Index based EEG monitoring. A systematic review
Authors' conclusion
Bearing in mind, the heterogeneity and small sample size of the included studies, current evidence suggests that the alternative infraorbital sensor position is the most comparable for clinical use when the standard sensor position in the forehead is not possible.

Pooled result
As reported in the abstract
- Alternative infraorbital sensor position most comparable for clinical use when standard forehead position not possible
- Synthesized narratively owing to heterogeneity
- Small sample size
Further pooled results
- Most studies low risk of bias; overall judgement No Information (missing data domain); no clear indication of serious or critical risk
