<br>
I am interested in single-trial ERSP-data. Since I have found
some interesting activities in specific time-frequency-bins on
the study level (I used std_precomp to compute ERSPs), I would
now like to look at single-trial ERSPs.<br>
My basic question is: how can I compute single-trial ERSPs from
the *.dattimef-data?<br>
I used the following approach:<br>
1) Compute the absolute power-values from the complex
*.dattimef-data:<br>
ABSPOWER = abs(tf-data).^2<br>
2) Compute the mean baseline power for each frequency and
each trial in db:<br>
BASELINE(freq, trial) = 10*log10(mean(ABSPOWER(freq, time <
0, trial)))<br>
3) Compute baseline corrected power values (in dB) for each
time-frequency point for each trial:<br>
CORRECTEDPOWER(freq,:,trial)= 10*log10(ABSPOWER(freq,:,trial))
- BASELINE(freq,trial)<br>
<br>
In order to validate my newly computed single-trial ERSPs, I
wanted to compare the averaged ERSPs provided by std_precomp
(*.datersp-files) with my self-made ERSPs.<br>
To do so, I averaged my baseline-corrected power values across
trials for each subject:<br>
MEANPOWER = mean(CORRECTEDPOWER,3);<br>
The ERSP-data that I produced with this approach for each
subject and each electrode differed strikingly from the ERSPS
computed with std_precomp (provided in the *.datersp-files).<br>
Is my approach to compute single-trial ERSPs wrong?<br>
Is my approach to average these single-tiral ERSPs wrong?<br>
I assume that eeglab performs some adjustments in the
power-baselines (across trials, or even across subjects?) before
removing the baseline.<br>
