[Eeglablist] PSD on scored PSG data

Dear Mohith,

> Thank you for sharing the code but perhaps I am not making myself clear
enough that for the PSG data that I acquired and which have been event
coded into different stages of sleep I am required to run a frequency
domain analysis of visualizing as well as obtaining the mean power spectrum
for specific frequency bands like alpha, delta, theta etc FOR EACH SLEEP
STAGE. So running a spectrogram may not be the appropriate way to visualize
how channel or component activity between participants differ in terms of
power spectra within each sleep stage (e.g. REM vs. NREM 1 vs. NREM2 VS.
NREM3).

The obtained spectrogram can be also segmented into blocks, if you have
annotations, and you can take a block average.

> According to what I read upon this topic, MATLAB has functions like
pwelch or fft to run such sort of analysis and in EEGLAB, I think its
pop_spectopo instead of spectrogram (since I don't need info about the time
domain at least for this part of the analysis), please correct me if I am
wrong.

In the example below, you can see the PSD time in 'times' and freqs in
'freqs'.
 [~, freqs, times, PSD]      = spectrogram(EEG.icaact(icIdx,:), EEG.srate,
round(EEG.srate/2), freqBins, EEG.srate);
If you know your Stage 1 is from 568.9 s to 668.2 sec,
startIdx = find(times>568.9,1);
endIdx = find(times>668.2,1)-1;
stage1MeanPower = squeeze(mean(PSD(:, startIdx:endIdx, icIdx), 2));
to obtain the Stage1 PSD (of a given independent component by icIdx).
