[Eeglablist] mixed model for EEG data

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

Hello David,

I'm not aware of any built-ins for doing this, but it is fairly
straightforward using just basic MATLAB functions. The specifics depend on
how your data have been processed, how your trial-level predictor info is
coded, etc, how you plan on doing the analysis, etc. Here's a simple
example that assumes no trials have been removed (i.e., trial n of EEG
corresponds to the nth predictor value that will go into the model), that
the predictors are stored in a separate logfile that was generated by the
stimulus presentation software (as opposed to, e.g., in the EEG event codes
themselves), and that the analysis will only look at one time window and
one channel. It could of course be tweaked to handle different situations
than those described above.



% the time range (inclusive) to average over
time_window = [150 250];

% the channel to use
channame = 'Fz';

% find all samples within this time range
samples = find( EEG.times>=time_window(1) & EEG.times<=time_window(end) );

% find the index of the channel
chanidx = find( arrayfun( @(x)( strcmpi( EEG.chanlocs(x).labels, channame )
), 1:EEG.nbchan ) );

% get the window mean amplitude for each trial
data = squeeze( mean( EEG.data( chanidx, samples, : ), 2 ) );

% write out to text
dlmwrite( ['voltages_' channame '_' num2str(time_window(1)) '-'
num2str(time_window(end))], data );

% the next step is to read those values back into R, along with whatever
other file contains the trial-by-trial predictors that you want to regress
these values on
