[Eeglablist] Video visualization EEG data

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Jukka,

the eegmovie function (from the command line only) does nice 2-D and 3-D movies.
An example of call below is shown after loading a STUDY and storing the output of std_spectplot in the variable specdata (the movie function is the last line (this requires EEGLAB 13 for metal material in 3-D plot - otherwise simply remove that parameter).

When I have several conditions, I do multiple movies and then combine them with Screenflow on OSx, a very powerful tool.

Best,

Arno

mergelocs = eeg_mergelocs(ALLEEG.chanlocs);
 
% parameters for headplot. IMPORTANT NOTE: the transformation matrix depends on your montage.
% to find the correct transformation matrix, plot the 3-D head on one of the subject and look at the transformation matrix

headplotparams = { 'meshfile', 'colin27headmesh.mat', 'transform', [0          -13            0          0.1            0        -1.57         11.7         12.5           12] };
 
% set up the spline file
headplot('setup', mergelocs, 'STUDY_headplot.spl', headplotparams{:});
 
% average subject and plot using headplot
scalp_spec = mean(specdata{2},3);

figure; topoplot(scalp_spec, mergelocs);
