compute_csd: Convert to Current Source Density

In kusumikakd/EEG: A collection of utilities for EEG analysis

Description

Convert an eeg_data or eeg_epochs object to using Current Source Densities. This command uses a spherical spline algorithm (Perrin et al., 1989) to compute scalp surface Laplacian/current source density estimates of scalp potentials, a reference-free measure of electrical activity that emphasises more local spatial features

Usage

compute_csd(data, ...)

## Default S3 method:
compute_csd(data, ...)

## S3 method for class 'eeg_data'
compute_csd(data, m = 4, smoothing = 1e-05, scaling = 1, ...)

## S3 method for class 'eeg_epochs'
compute_csd(data, m = 4, smoothing = 1e-05, scaling = 1, ...)

Arguments

data	eeg_data or eeg_epochs object
...	Other parameters
m	smoothing constraint (higher = more rigid splines)
smoothing	lambda constant. Added to the Defaults to 1e-05
scaling	Default scaling (1) is uV / m^2. Note that this depends on the units of the electrode co-ordinates.

Methods (by class)

• default: Default method to detect unknown classes.

• eeg_data: Transform eeg_data to CSD

• eeg_epochs: Transform eeg_data to CSD
