Compute Power Spectral Density of inverse solution from single epochs¶

Compute PSD of dSPM inverse solution on single trial epochs restricted to a brain label. The PSD is computed using a multi-taper method with Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequence (DPSS) windows.

Compute source space PSD in label¶

..note:: By using “return_generator=True” stcs will be a generator object: instead of a list. This allows us so to iterate without having to keep everything in memory.

n_epochs_use = 10
stcs = compute_source_psd_epochs(epochs[:n_epochs_use], inverse_operator,
                                 lambda2=lambda2,
                                 method=method, fmin=fmin, fmax=fmax,
                                 bandwidth=bandwidth, label=label,
                                 return_generator=True, verbose=True)

# compute average PSD over the first 10 epochs
psd_avg = 0.
for i, stc in enumerate(stcs):
    psd_avg += stc.data
psd_avg /= n_epochs_use
freqs = stc.times  # the frequencies are stored here
stc.data = psd_avg  # overwrite the last epoch's data with the average

Visualize the 10 Hz PSD:

brain = stc.plot(initial_time=10., hemi='lh', views='lat',  # 10 HZ
                 clim=dict(kind='value', lims=(20, 40, 60)),
                 smoothing_steps=3, subjects_dir=subjects_dir)
brain.add_label(label, borders=True, color='k')

Visualize the entire spectrum:

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(freqs, psd_avg.mean(axis=0))
ax.set_xlabel('Freq (Hz)')
ax.set_xlim(stc.times[[0, -1]])
ax.set_ylabel('Power Spectral Density')
