Probe

Definition: A probe or probeset is the arrangement of optodes on the head. Probes can be placed according to the international 10-20 system and/or other anatomical landmarks. The optodes (emitters and detectors) are typically located in a grid with fixed inter-optode-distances for long-distance and short-distance channels.
