[Eeglablist] Time- frequency analysis

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Leonardo,

> 1- Does that mean, I can't do time-frequency analysis using
"Time-frequency transforms" of EEGLAB because I don't have epochs in my
data)? Is this could be a limitation of Time-frequency transforms (only
dealing withe epoch data rather than continuous one)?

I think EEGLAB GUI also let you transform continuous EEG into
time-frequency data. If you call pop_newtimef() or newtimef() function, it
is absolutely possible.

> 2- In same "Time-frequency transforms" option, what is the meaning of the
word "log" that we find it in both "Log spaced" and "log power" parameters?

If you linear-space 1 to 10,

linspace(1,10,10)

ans =

     1     2     3     4     5     6     7     8     9    10

If you log-space 1 to 10,

>> logspace(log10(1),log10(10),10)

ans =

    1.0000    1.2915    1.6681    2.1544    2.7826    3.5938    4.6416
 5.9948    7.7426   10.0000

For frequency plot, always use log scale. It'll weight 4-8Hz theta and
40-80Hz gamma equally.

> 3- For baseline, when to select the option "Use standard deviation
(STD)", "Single trial DIV baseline", and "Single trial STD baseline"?  When
we change from one to another, does that change the dB unit or not, knowing
that the default option "Use divisive baseline" produces bar column in dB.
However, this bar color will be changed (e.g., std.) when we change the
option into "Use Single trial STD baseline".

I believe the difference is how to take the baseline. It's my guess but
sounds like the default is the std of the baseline period after averaging,
while the 'single trial' option calculates it at single trials (I don't
know exactly how). The dB unit will be the same, but the baseline values
would be different since they are differently calculated.
