Please [edit] into your question. In any case, if they're proposing a "novel method", seems your best source for the answer is going to be that exact paper, no? What do they say about it?

Did you read the paragraph starting "It was Hans Kornhuber, who found the solution:"?

Im reading about the Bereitschaftspotential or Readiness-potential "discovery" and I see it was done by "reverse-averaging" the ressults of using EEG to measure certain voltage differences...What is this "reverse-averaging" technique?
