<div dir="ltr">Hi Carla<div><br></div><div>On face value, absolute power values as high as <span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">400 μV2</span> may not necessarily seem too unusual .... however based on my various experiences analysing EEG power spectra - these are unusual (unless they are observed at the very lowest frequencies, i.e. less than 0.5-1Hz). Generally speaking, power values (across approx 1-30Hz, at least) shoudl generally be more in the range of tens rather than hundreds <span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">(μV2).</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">[By the way - in general I think it's often preferable to analyse relative, rather than absolute, band-power.]</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">You can feel free email me if you'd like further info.</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Regards,</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Simon Finnigan</span></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 11, 2015 at 1:19 AM, Carla Barros <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:carla.88.barros@gmail.com" target="_blank">carla.88.barros@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Dear all,<br><br>We have been trying to calculate total, evoked and induced power related to auditory processing in an oddball task.<br><br>Power has been calculated as the squared magnitude of the EEG (μV2), followed by baseline correction, following Roach and Mathalon (2008) and others.
