Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 10, further comprising:
(g) simulating affixation of a third set of electrode elements having a third centroid to the person's head at a third plurality of positions with the third centroid positioned on top of the person's head;
(h) simulating affixation of a fourth set of electrode elements having a fourth centroid to the back of the person's neck at a fourth plurality of positions with the fourth centroid positioned below the person's C2 vertebra and above the person's C7 vertebra;
