[Eeglablist] ICA after PREP pipeline incl channel interpolation

Hi Alexandra,

Let’s take your issues one by one:


1.       I strongly suggest not to use any EEGLAB plugin (eg. PREP pipeline) without verifying the results as from my personal experience I found no significant improvement using PREP pipeline.

2.       There is no point in interpolating the bad channels without cleaning the data first.

3.       The rank reduction is generally happen when you reject certain ICA components.

If you want to follow my pipeline to clean the high density EEG data, here it is:

1. Remove bad chuncks(epoches)using visual inspection.
3. BandPass and notch/cleanline.
4. Select bad channels by kurtosis(5%) and/or proablity(5%).
5. ICA using binica with good channels only.
6. Remove the bad components by spectral plots and component activation plots (automatically or manually).
7. Interpolate the Bad channels sherical spline method.


Best,
Dheeraj







I realise this is a popular question but I am really uncertain what happens to my data in my preprocessing pipeline. I am quite new to ICA/PCA decomposition.

First, the raw data are run through the PREP pipeline (in EEGLAB 13.5.4b), including the (spherical) interpolation of noisy channels.

Then after rejection of very noisy epochs I run ICA (for identification of artefact components) with EEG = pop_runica(EEG,'extended',1) %this is somebody else's code that I am re-using.
(Minor question: At this point I do not baseline correct each epoch, is this recommended?)

I get the info: "Data rank (115) is smaller than the number of channels (128).  Input data size [115,525723] = 115 channels, 525723 frames/nAfter PCA dimension reduction,
finding 115 ICA components using extended ICA."

Here is where I am losing track. For this example, there are 116 non-interpolated channels and the data set was re-referenced to common reference before ICA.
So I guess this might be behind the rank reduction, although I am not sure how runica knows about this (where is such information retrieved?)

What precisely is used as the input data now? Any first 115 channels or only the non-interpolated channels?
What happens when the resulting (clean) components are projected back onto channel space if some of the channels are not actually included in the data set used to calculate the components?

Many thanks in advance,

Hi Alexandra,

My understanding (I'm not an expert in ICA, specifically, but I've been using it for years), is that all your channels will be fed into ICA, and backprojecting components into channel space will do that projection onto all the 128 channels. So even though you interpolated some bad channels pre-ICA, all the channels get used. The rank reduction, in my crude understanding, means that the ICA will take the 128 channels but will only look for 115 unique components, because it's assuming that the interpolated channels are not unique sources of data (since they're now based on neighboring channels). So I wouldn't worry too much, but that's just my two cents.

James

Dear Norman,


I'm not on the eeglab list, but someone just forwarded this message to me, so I thought I'd add a few more cents to the pot. Feel free to forward this message to the eeglab list.


In general, wavelet normalization in the time domain is an extremely difficult problem. It depends on many factors, including the frequency, the width of the Gaussian, the number of time points, and even the sampling rate. It is quite remarkable that everyone has gotten it wrong (mea culpa -- I didn't work through this issue in my book, so it's wrong in there as well). That factor of "A" that people often use comes from a normalization of the integral and simply doesn't translate to our sampled digital analysis environment. I think it hasn't been a huge problem because most people apply a baseline normalization (dB or percent change), so then the original scale doesn't matter.


Anyway, the solution is surprisingly simple: Normalize the wavelet energy in the frequency domain, not in the time domain. For wavelet convolution, it would work something like this:


cmwX = fft(cmw,nConv); % nConvolution-point FFT, assume 'cmw' is a complex Morlet wavelet

cmwX = cmwX./max(cmwX); % normalize to max-1 spectral energy
dataX = fft(data,nConv); % nConvolution-point FFT
convolution_result = ifft( dataX.*cmwX ); % convolution result


The power and real part of the convolution result now has the same units as the original signal (e.g., microvolts). If you want to have the time-domain Morlet wavelet, you could take the ifft of cmwX (using nfft according to the wavelet, not according to N+M-1 for convolution).


Hope that helps,
Mike

Dear all,

I'd like to contribute from the perspective of a discussion on Mike Cohen's Blog.

The initial question was, how to obtain an amplitude envelope of a given signal which has in fact the same amplitude as the given signal, right?
So coming from Nicos signal:

clear all
D = 4; % total signal duration in seconds.
sigD = 1; % duration of the test oscillation within the signal.
F = 10; % frequency of the test oscillationin Hz.
P = .25; % Phase of the test oscillation. 2 pi radians = 360 degrees
srate = 256; % sampling rate, i.e. N points per sec used to represent sine wave.
T = 1/srate; % sampling period, i.e. for this e.g. points at 1 ms intervals
time = T:T:D; % time vector.

sigpoints = length(time)/2 - (sigD*srate)/2:(length(time)/2 + (sigD*srate)/2)-1;
mysig = zeros(1,D*srate);
mysig(sigpoints) = sin(2*F*time(sigpoints)*pi+ 2*pi*P);

one way to obtain equal amplitudes is to normalize the wavelet by its maximal value within the frequency domain:

% some preparations
mysig = mysig';
ss = size(mysig);
cycles = 4;
dt = 1/srate;
sf = F/cycles;
s = 1./(2*pi*sf);
t = (-4*s:dt:4*s)';
nM = length(t);
halfMsiz = (nM-1)/2;
hz = linspace(0,srate/2,floor(nM/2)+1);
Ly = ss(1)*ss(2)+nM-1;
Ly2=pow2(nextpow2(ss(1)*ss(2)+nM-1));

% fft of signal
X=fft(reshape(mysig,ss(1)*ss(2),1), Ly2);

% building morlet wavelet (without a normalization factor)
m = exp(-t.^2/(2*s^2)).*exp(1i*2*pi*F.*t);
H = fft(m,Ly2); % fft of wavelet

% normalize wavelet spectrum
H = H./max(H);

y = ifft(X.*H,Ly2);
y = y(floor(halfMsiz+1):Ly-ceil(halfMsiz));
y_amp = 2* abs(y);

figure; plot(time,mysig,'b',time,y_amp,'r')

This seems to work for any combination of srate and cycles (except when number of cycles become large) because the signal spectrum is convolved by spectral wavelet values being maximally one.

I have not fully worked my way through Andreas' example. It normalizes the wavelet in time, not in frequency domain as here. So it is probably not comparable.
But doing time domain normalization within the lines above by just replacing the kernel formula:

m = exp(-t.^2/(2*s^2)).*exp(1i*2*pi*F.*t) ./ sqrt(srate); % unit energy

and commenting out the max(H) normalization, however, yields an amplitude envelope which is 2.5 times larger than the original signal amplitude and increases when the number of wavelet cycles is increased. But as Andreas suggestion referred to the dftfilt3 output, the matter becomes more complicated as this function uses it's own normalization factor:
A = 1./sqrt(s*sqrt(pi));
and there are problably some more relevant differences (not even going into the timefreq function).

In sum, this post may have fostered the general confusion (or at least mine) but for a more puristic approach to the matter of wavelet normalization, the lines above might be of some value (kudos to mike x cohen, of course).

All the best
Norman

Hi all,

Is there an easy way to see what functions are being called as you click through eeglab? I have a workflow of importing data from a text file, filtering, removing the mean, and running ICA and then viewing a Component Scroll plot. I need to perform this sequence on many datasets and it’ll be the same process for each one, so it would be fantastic to be able to automate this. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Subject: [Eeglablist] uimenu issue
Hello everybody,

I am creating an EEGLAB plugin for the analysis and detection of high-frequency oscillations (HFOs). I have created a set of functions which can be called by means of a list of uimenus which I already integrated in the EEGLAB interface. I would like to enable some of the uimenus only if some variables  (created by different functions) are present in the workspace. Do you know how to do that? I have tried with “userdata” property, but I have been able just to disable the uimenu at the startup.

Thanks for your support.

Best,

Lucia

I tried loading in the sample dataset but that also didn't render the 3D plot.

Any help would be much appreciated!

EEGLAB doesn't have built-in function for this, but ERPLAB's binlister can do it. Alternatively, you can just write a MATLAB loop that does it; there should be an example or two in some of my previous messages on this list.

Hi,



I have a question about changing trigger codes for epochs.

I am completing a study with somatosensory stimuli.

One trigger is sent by E-Prime which codes the speed of stroking touch (delivered by the experimenter), sometime after this a trigger is sent from a laser showing the exact point at which the experimenter first touches the participant.

The laser is the precise onset of touch however, this code is the same each time. In order to epoch and bin these data properly I need a way to code the laser trigger so that it is an addition (or some calculation) of the previous (stimulus type) trigger and the precise stimulus laser onset trigger.

Is there some function in EEGLab or some coding that will allow me to do this?



Thank you



Connor

Subject: Re: [Eeglablist] Trigger manipulation
Hello Connor,some notes below, best wishes.


*****************************************************************************
If you haven't had a chance to, google eeglablist for the past
mentions and suggestions regarding changing events. "eeglablist + edit
events". There should  be some code examples there too. Here are some
recent ones. Check out the function eeg_addnewevents too.
https://sccn.ucsd.edu/pipermail/eeglablist/2015/009246.html
https://sccn.ucsd.edu/pipermail/eeglablist/2015/009265.html

There's a range of ways to edit the events, including through the GUI,
by importing events, and via scripts that modify the EEG.event
structure. These should all be documented on the wiki and eeglablist.

You can go to Edit > EEG events, modify or add an event, and after
closing the gui window for event editing, type eegh to see the Event
Editing command script that was run, which you can copy, modify.
You'll also want to check help documentation for the function that
gets run. For example one can create a loop in a small script that go
through each of the events, has a counter for each kind of event
you're looking for, and then modifies the label. You could do it event
by event in loop, or you could have variables to hold the times and
labels, and then use the eeg_addnewevents function to update the whole
event structure.

Google the following eeglab wiki pages.
Chapter_03:_Event_Processing
A02: Importing Event Epoch Info - SCCN

Subject: Re: [Eeglablist] headplot.m and 2014b -- can't seem to plot a head
Hello Nick, there may be a problem with that example, feel free to report it on eeglab bugzilla. The steps below take 5 minutes and give you a headplot with sample data you can find in your full eeglab folder. As usual, googling eeglablist and reviewing the eeglab tutorial for your topics can be helpful.



***************************************************************************
The headplot requires co-registration of the correct channels with the head, for the currently loaded file. The loaded data also needs to be epoched data, I believe.

If you haven't had chance to yet, review the following pages and similar pages: https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Chapter_06:_Data_Averaging
This shows you how to make plots with tutorial data, an important step.

To get 3d headplots now quickly and easily, do the following steps:

Go to the "sample data" folder in your eeglab folder.
Load the file "eeglab_data_epochs_ica.set"
In case you haven't tried the full tutorial yet, this file is used in the online eeglab tutorial pages.

Then try either of the following from the GUI
Plot > Erp Map Series > 3D
Then go to Plot > Components > 3D

You need to specify a specific time or a specific component in the respective gui window. But leave everything else with defaults.
In both cases (ERPS or Components) you should see a Tailarach transformation matrix already in the GUI window that pops up. You can click Manual registration if you want to show yourself that the electrode locations are properly co-registered with the head (they are).
This is the transformation matrix that should be in there:
-0.355789     -6.33688      12.3705    0.0533239    0.0187461     -1.55264      1.06367     0.987721     0.932694

Then click OK, and a "example" figure should pop up! Yes ?

*Remember to check google eeglablist and check the online tutorial for your topics of interest.

Subject: [Eeglablist] SIFT resampling surrogate distributions with 1 trial
I'd like to use a resampling technique (e.g. bootstrap) to get p-values and test stats for SIFT connectivity metrics for 1 subject across n conditions.

This is a steady-state condition study, hence there's only 1 trial per condition.  I'm trying to analyze whether certain connectivity metrics (i.e. their averages over a condition) are statistically significantly different across the conditions.  I was under the impression I could use SIFT's surrogate distribution generator to obtain the surrogate distribution for these calculations, but when I run that from the GUI for bootstrap, I get the error:

"Unable to compute bootstrap distributions for a single trial"

Is this surrogate function only designed to do boostrapping over trials? Or is there a way to do it over windows within a condition?
