[Eeglablist] Time Frequency Statistics

[Joseph Brooks]

David,

The time-frequency analysis is done using a function called timef. One of 
the outputs of timef is a 2D matrix (time x frequency). This contains the 
data that is used to generate the time-frequency map that you see.

In order to do a statistical analysis I do the following:

(1) Write a script that will run the timef function on data from each 
subject and each condition.
(2) The script saves the outputs of each run of timef into a matlab 
variable (I save things into structure variables....e.g. the structure may 
contain fields for each condition and then the subjects within that).
(3) You can then save the output variables (a structure in my case) to disk.
(4) Now, the time-frequency maps can be accessed and you can select any 
portion of the matrix that you choose.
(5) run your statistical analysis of choice on some sub-matrix of interest 
of the time-frequency maps.
(6) to take the mean across subjects, just stack the matrices from all the 
individual subjects into a 3D matrix and take the mean (using the mean 
function in matlab) over the subject dimension.

Time and frequency are outputs of the timef function and will serve as axes 
for the time-frequency matrix.

Type "help timef" at the matlab command line for full information about the 
use of timef.

Let me know if I can clarify any of this.
