[Eeglablist] Number of samples

Hi all,

I am currently examining the EEG response to certain exercise bouts. We only have a 256Hz system and are currently using 30sec data sample window. As you discuss below this may not improve the information because of the variability of the signal... on top of which exercise clearly adds to the level of noise... I have only read in one paper that the minimal suggested sample window during exercise is 20secs of data but does anyone have any other suggestions?

Many thanks
Caroline

Remember that EEG is a very dynamic signal. Hence, longer samples is not expected to give better information as the signal changes within the sample window. However, increasing the sampling rate, increases the information. According to Nyquist you will be able to reconstruct a signal if you sample faster than the double of the highest frequency in the signal. However, that is when the signal is stable (EEG is not) and the sample is infinite long. Practically you will often end up sampling 5-10 time the highest frequency in biological signals.

Dear Samaneh,

Samples you mean sampling points? Yes of course. The more sampling points you have, the better (i.e. smoother and more reliable) the results are.

Dear EEGLAB users,
I would like to be sure,whether the results of analysis of EEG using  FFT or DWT depend on the number of samples?If is so, what is best choice for number of samples?
