    ¡¡We recorded event-related potentials (ERPs) by electroencephalograms (EEGs)
    while subjects were performing selections of an answer. The subjects were
    seven normal university students. They were asked to add double figures and
    select an answer from the two choices. Choices were of two types; Type1 was
    correct choice including the correct answer, and Type2 was approximation
    choice without the correct answer. Moreover, we classified the Type2 into
    the following cases according to presentation types. The cases were Type2A:
    the answer was smaller than choices, Type2B: the answer was between choices,
    and Type2C: the answer was bigger than choices. We analyzed by using the
    equivalent current dipole source localization (ECDL) to compare brain activities
    in the meantime. ECDs were localized at the left middle frontal gyrus (MFG),
    the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) and the left lateral postcentral gyrus
    (PstCG) between latencies from 150ms to 250ms after presentation of choices
    (PRC) which is 1000ms after the beginning of EEG measurement. Until 250ms
    after the PRC, ECDs were localized at the same parts in both type, Correct
    and Approximation. After 250ms from the PRC, the ERP of the approximation
    answer had delays from 60 to 100ms for the ERP of the correct answer. In
    the case of approximation answer only, the ECDs were localized at the right
    MFG.
