Finding the base of the brain.
An electrode carrier mounted in a T-slot holder is described. An electronic circuit detects the vertical displacement of the carrier in the T-slot when an electrode encounters the base of the skull. Use of this vertical coordinate can reduce errors in locating structures at or close to the base of the brain.
