[Eeglablist] FFT spectrogram

[Alan Velander]

Thank you for your replies. I think my bigger question is about how to
average signals. If I want to look at the average signal for the left
hemisphere (combining Fp1, F3, F7, C3, P3, T7, O1) and then plot a
spectrogram of that signal over the entire EEG recording, how should I do
this? Alan
