[Eeglablist] Calculating PSD within scored sleep data

[Tarik S Bel-Bahar]

Hi Mohith, quick notes below, best wishes.


*******************************
Overall, using eegh in the command window and reviewing the output of that
command will help you build your script.
If you haven't had a chance to, check out the eeglab wiki on scripting,
makoto's suggestions list, previous eeglab posts, and the full sequence of
the eeglab tutorial + tutorial data (all googlable),
In your case, it seems all that's needed is a little practice of each step
you want with the eeglab GUI, and then reviewing the eegh output after
doing those successful GUI steps, and then integrating that eegh knowledge
into your script.


Here's some suggestions about what to try before having
REM-only-epoch files/matrices for your spectral metrics computations

*********************************
Break your different conditions (periods of time) into separate files (or
separate duplicate EEG structures in matlab memory)
Do so by making a loop to load your original file
then use the epoching function from eeglab to break the file into REM
periods
and then ...save the file with a new name (like ID_01_REM_epochs.set)

because eeglab normal epoching (I believe) makes epochs of the same length
(it will cut the file into X number of epochs based on the REM event of Y
amount of time for each epoch) you may need to alternatively....

Generate a set of start and end times for each Rem period into a matlab
array,
and then select and save only the eeg data for just those periods, or as
it's own .set file, for spectral computation with spectopo.
These start/end times can be inserted into the eeglab time rejection
function to create new rem-only files.
or used as indices to build new rem-only EEG.data matrices.

*Some details about how to attempt to get and use the eegh information to
build your own version of the times and remove those times
*examine eegh output in command window after successfully rejecting some
time periods manually viewed in eeg plot. You will find the name of the
function used for rejecting time periods, the flags that were on or off,
and the start/end time periods that you selected in the gui.
*so, one would first make a list of start and end times for REM, insert
them into the rejection function correctly, and then save new
files/matrices that are ready for spectral computation
