EEG¶
Next we do the same for EEG and plot the result on the cortex:
evoked_eeg = evoked.copy().pick_types(eeg=True, meg=False)
inv_op_eeg = make_inverse_operator(evoked_eeg.info, fwd, cov, fixed=True,
verbose=True)
stc_eeg = apply_inverse(evoked_eeg, inv_op_eeg, lambda2, 'MNE', verbose=True)
snr_stc_eeg = stc_eeg.estimate_snr(evoked_eeg.info, fwd, cov)
brain = snr_stc_eeg.plot(**kwargs)
Out:
