[Eeglablist] Analysis of ERSP data

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Chris,

yes, this is fine. There is a simpler and more elegant way. You only have 4 channels and EEGLAB will not plot power scalp maps if you have less than 5 channels. Add an extra channel and plot the scalp map in a given time-frequency range (18 22 Hz and 100 to 200 ms for instance). Then you can just collect the numbers and export them (no need to select specific frequencies or time range).

Hope this helps,

Arno
