[Eeglablist] .datersp file contents question

[Mikołaj Magnuski]

Hi Steven,

by default spectra and ersps computed in EEGlab are transformed to dB (10 *
log10( power ) ).
erspbase should represent baseline (in dB too) that was subtracted from
each time step of your ersp. The baseline is mean spectrum in time range
that you defined when precomputing (by default it is everything before time
zero).
This means that ersp fields contain baseline-corrected time-freq
representation in dB.
(if I am not correct about ersp or erspbase fields, please correct me,
eeglablist).
