[Eeglablist] Understanding topoplot

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Joaquin,

Further adding to Mikolaj's reply- today I published a new plugin
pvaftopo(), which needed three lines only:

backProj =
EEG.icawinv(:,IC)*eeg_getdatact(EEG,'component',IC,'reshape','2d');
outTopo  = 100-100*var(EEG.data(:,:)-backProj,0,2)./var(EEG.data(:,:),0,2);
topoplot(outTopo, EEG.chanlocs);

With this plugin, you can demonstrate IC3 and IC9 together explain 78% of
Fz activity, for example. Note that topoplot() is used in the last line.
Here outTopo is a column vector that corresponds to the number of channels.

Check out the pvaftopo from plugin manager or url below.

Sorejamata,
Makoto Miyakoshi
