mne.preprocessing.compute_current_source_density

mne.preprocessing.compute_current_source_density(inst, sphere='auto', lambda2=1e-05, stiffness=4, n_legendre_terms=50, copy=True)[source]

Get the current source density (CSD) transformation.

Transformation based on spherical spline surface Laplacian 1234.

Parameters
instinstance of Raw, Epochs or Evoked

The data to be transformed.

spherearray_like, shape (4,) | str

The sphere, head-model of the form (x, y, z, r) where x, y, z is the center of the sphere and r is the radius in meters. Can also be “auto” to use a digitization-based fit.

lambda2float

Regularization parameter, produces smoothness. Defaults to 1e-5.

stiffnessfloat

Stiffness of the spline.

n_legendre_termsint

Number of Legendre terms to evaluate.

copybool

Whether to overwrite instance data or create a copy.

Returns
inst_csdinstance of Raw, Epochs or Evoked

The transformed data. Output type will match input type.

Notes

New in version 0.20.
