[Eeglablist] Activity Power Spectrum with funktion "pop_prop()"

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Beatrice,

the EEGLAB function that computes spectrum produces by default a spectrum that only uses 15% of the data (to speed up computation). That is probably why you observe a different spectrum compared to your software. You may change the default to use 100% in the graphic interface or on the Matlab command line. Another reason could be that the parameters for computing the spectrum (window size, padding, and overlap between windows) are different.

Best regards,

Arno

ps: there was a bug a couple of years ago where the spectrum function was only using the first trial. This has been fixed in 2009 in all version including EEGLAB 6.03b.

My problem is, that the calculations for the Power Spectrum in EEGLab produces completely different and also unrealistic results, the function values are completely different ones.
