The self-potential or spontaneous polarization (SP) method is based on the surface measurement of natural potentials resulting from electrokinetic, electrochemical and thermoelectric reactions in the subsurface. This method in geophysics refers to an electrical surveying method used for looking at natural electrical anomalies in the ground. The self-potential method was the first electrical method primarily used for mineral exploration and is still used therein. Mathematical methods such as Bisection and Regula False have been used for several years for interpreting SP data. In this study, it is aimed to compare these two interpretation methods for evaluating SP data. Theoretical studies were carried out for four different models and the outcomes were presented. Also the methods were used to evaluate a field data from Turkey and the results were compared with previous studies. It is determined that both methods give similar results in accordance with the geological structure in the area.
