<p>Hello, i've noticed a discrepancy between the two modes of calculating ersp in eeglab where i believe there should be no such discrepancy. i'm referring to the function newtimef, which can be run on single trials, or on a vector of trials.</p>
<p>when i call newtimef with my vector of trials (ie, sending all trials at once to the function), i get back a nice mean ersp of all my trials, with most of the points in my baseline period coming out around zero.</p>
<p>however, when i compute the newtimef on a single trial basis, and then average the results, i get my baseline period as being around -2db, and all other values are shifted 2 db to the negatives as well (ie, when i send all the trials at once to newtimef i get an ersp of around 4db in the task period, but when i compute single trials, and then average, i get an ersp of around 2db in the task period). </p>
<p>i've tried playing around a bit with the arguments, ie, using the 'trialbase' argument, but it doesn't change anything. </p>
<p>i need these single trials for my anovas, but i have to be sure that i'm actually computing them correctly...does anyone know how i can correct this systematic under-estimation due to averaging of the single trial ersp?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
