[Eeglablist] Dipole Fitting - Dipoles' moment

[Robert Thatcher]

Niels,

   I am new to theEEGLab list and am not sure exactly how you are fitting dipoles or how many,etc.  When I worked at NIH in the 1990swe dealt with these issues including dipole coherence and dipole phasedifferences, here is a url to one of our publications that may be helpful: 

http://www.appliedneuroscience.com/HumanNetworkDynamics.pdf

 

Recently we recognize that the 3D vectors have differentorientations depending on their location in gyri and sulci and therefore relianceon the resultant vector (square root of the sum of squares) for connectivity analyses is not always thebest.  Instead we identify the x or y orz vector that has the largest magnitude or largest contribution to the inverse solution and then compute coherenceand phase lags and cross-frequency coupling and effective connectivity, etc. betweenthe strongest  vector or dipole moment no matter whetherit is x or y or z.  Have you tried thisapproach or am I off base about what you are trying to do?

 

Best regards,

 

Robert

Hello Nils, quick note below, best wishes.

I believe the eeglab approach is to use dipfit for finding dipoles
that accurately explain spatial IC maps, thus there is no temporal
information that the dipoles are explaining, in this case, in eeglab.

You probably need to get some way to get dipole fits over time, which
may require transitioning from eeglab to fieldtrip or brainstorm,
where surely that functionality exists.
