    Dear Weina,<br>
    <br>
    Basically, any montage will cause signal characteristics from the
    sensors used for re-referencing to show up in all other sensors. If
    you use a common average, the signal from any sensor will depend to
    some degree to any other sensor (because common average uses all
    sensors for rereferencing). If you use only Cz, you will obtain a
    high granger causality for any sensors to Cz. This would of course
    not reflect a real brain process, but is just the consequence of
    substracting the signal from Cz from all other sensors. Best would
    be to use a sensor that you will not include in computing granger
    causality (e.g. a mastoid, or choose Cz but then exclude this sensor
    for further analyses).<br>
    <br>
    Best,<br>
    Jörn<br>

          <div>Yes, granger causality results will for sure change when
            you use different montages. When you replace each
            measurement (what you call 'mono-montage') with that
            measurement minus the average across the whole recording
            array (what you call 'average montage') the amount with
            which signals can be explained in terms of their own and the
            other signals' past will change as well. This most likely
