class mne.time_frequency.EpochsTFR(info, data, times, freqs, comment=None, method=None, events=None, event_id=None, metadata=None, verbose=None)[source]¶

Container for Time-Frequency data on epochs.

Can for example store induced power at sensor level.

__contains__(ch_type)[source]¶

Check channel type membership.

Parameters

ch_typestr: Channel type to check for. Can be e.g. ‘meg’, ‘eeg’, ‘stim’, etc.

Returns

inbool: Whether or not the instance contains the given channel type.

Examples

Channel type membership can be tested as:

>>> 'meg' in inst  
True
>>> 'seeg' in inst  
False

__getitem__(item)[source]¶

Return an Epochs object with a copied subset of epochs.

Parameters

itemslice, array_like, str, or list: See below for use cases.

Returns

epochsinstance of Epochs: See below for use cases.

Notes

Epochs can be accessed as epochs[...] in several ways:

epochs[idx]: Return Epochs object with a subset of epochs (supports single index and python-style slicing).

epochs['name']: Return Epochs object with a copy of the subset of epochs corresponding to an experimental condition as specified by ‘name’.

If conditions are tagged by names separated by ‘/’ (e.g. ‘audio/left’, ‘audio/right’), and ‘name’ is not in itself an event key, this selects every event whose condition contains the ‘name’ tag (e.g., ‘left’ matches ‘audio/left’ and ‘visual/left’; but not ‘audio_left’). Note that tags selection is insensitive to order: tags like ‘auditory/left’ and ‘left/auditory’ will be treated the same way when accessed.

epochs[['name_1', 'name_2', ... ]]: Return Epochs object with a copy of the subset of epochs corresponding to multiple experimental conditions as specified by 'name_1', 'name_2', ... .

If conditions are separated by ‘/’, selects every item containing every list tag (e.g. [‘audio’, ‘left’] selects ‘audio/left’ and ‘audio/center/left’, but not ‘audio/right’).
epochs['pandas query']: Return Epochs object with a copy of the subset of epochs (and matching metadata) that match pandas query called with self.metadata.eval, e.g.:
epochs["col_a > 2 and col_b == 'foo'"]
This is only called if Pandas is installed and self.metadata is a pandas.DataFrame.

New in version 0.16.

__hash__()[source]¶

Hash the object.

Returns

hashint: The hash

__iter__()[source]¶

Facilitate iteration over epochs.

This method resets the object iteration state to the first epoch.

Notes

This enables the use of this Python pattern:

>>> for epoch in epochs:  
>>>     print(epoch)  

Where epoch is given by successive outputs of mne.Epochs.next().

__len__()[source]¶

Return the number of epochs.

Returns

n_epochsint: The number of remaining epochs.

Notes

This function only works if bad epochs have been dropped.

Examples

This can be used as:

>>> epochs.drop_bad()  
>>> len(epochs)  
43
>>> len(epochs.events)  
43

add_channels(add_list, force_update_info=False)[source]¶

Append new channels to the instance.

Parameters

add_listlist: A list of objects to append to self. Must contain all the same type as the current object.
force_update_infobool: If True, force the info for objects to be appended to match the values in self. This should generally only be used when adding stim channels for which important metadata won’t be overwritten.

New in version 0.12.

Returns

instinstance of Raw, Epochs, or Evoked: The modified instance.

See also

drop_channels

Notes

If self is a Raw instance that has been preloaded into a numpy.memmap instance, the memmap will be resized.

apply_baseline(baseline, mode='mean', verbose=None)[source]¶

Baseline correct the data.

Parameters

baselinearray_like, shape (2,)

The time interval to apply rescaling / baseline correction. If None do not apply it. If baseline is (a, b) the interval is between “a (s)” and “b (s)”. If a is None the beginning of the data is used and if b is None then b is set to the end of the interval. If baseline is equal to (None, None) all the time interval is used.

Perform baseline correction by

subtracting the mean of baseline values (‘mean’)
dividing by the mean of baseline values (‘ratio’)
dividing by the mean of baseline values and taking the log (‘logratio’)
subtracting the mean of baseline values followed by dividing by the mean of baseline values (‘percent’)
subtracting the mean of baseline values and dividing by the standard deviation of baseline values (‘zscore’)
dividing by the mean of baseline values, taking the log, and dividing by the standard deviation of log baseline values (‘zlogratio’)

verbosebool, str, int, or None

If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose() and Logging documentation for more). If used, it should be passed as a keyword-argument only. Defaults to self.verbose.

Returns

instinstance of AverageTFR: The modified instance.
