Traditional EEG and EP analysis is trace-oriented. When mapping became popular, results of waveform analysis were mapped. Increased exposure to brain field maps has begun to orient analysis to the spatial aspects. Different maps must be generated by different neuronal populations; this offers direct key to the analysis of higher brain function. Space-oriented data reduction selects maps with optimal signal/noise ratio using Global Dissimilarity index. Classification and statistics of map landscapes uses extracted descriptors (locations of extrema or centroids) or three-dimensional dipole models. Map classification leads to adaptive segmentation of evoked or spontaneous map series into functional micro-states, the putative building blocks of perception and cognition.

COMMENTS
The papers in this Special Issue bring together different perspectives on topographic mapping. They highlight rich national and regional traditions by examining their history, describe how topographic mapping is embracing current technologies and point to some challenges of the future.
EDITORIAL. Topographic Mapping: Past, Present and Future. If maps serve to clarify the role of space and place in the human journey, maps created for providing observations of topography the shape and character of the Earth’s surface – were amongst the first to be made.

In this current theory and implementation of topographic mapping, the map is a graphics-based interface to a triplestore knowledge base which includes a topographic feature ontology, semantics and relations, and instance data with geometry and topology available.
Numerous studies have been focused on extracting geographic information from scanned topographic maps (STM). In this work, we will review lots of studies on STM processing in the past a few decades. Most of the discussing approaches are grouped into two categories which are segmentation and vectorization.
Past, Present and Future of Topographic Mapping D. Lehmann* Summary: Traditional EEG and EP analysis is trace-oriented. When mapping became popular, results of waveform analysis were mapped. Increased exposure to brain field maps has begun to orient analysis to the spatial aspects.
