Repeated measures ANOVA on source data with spatio-temporal clustering¶
This example illustrates how to make use of the clustering functions for arbitrary, self-defined contrasts beyond standard t-tests. In this case we will tests if the differences in evoked responses between stimulation modality (visual VS auditory) depend on the stimulus location (left vs right) for a group of subjects (simulated here using one subject’s data). For this purpose we will compute an interaction effect using a repeated measures ANOVA. The multiple comparisons problem is addressed with a cluster-level permutation test across space and time.

Transform to common cortical space¶
Normally you would read in estimates across several subjects and morph them to the same cortical space (e.g. fsaverage). For example purposes, we will simulate this by just having each “subject” have the same response (just noisy in source space) here.
We’ll only consider the left hemisphere in this tutorial.
n_vertices_sample, n_times = conditions[0].lh_data.shape
n_subjects = 6
print('Simulating data for %d subjects.' % n_subjects)
# Let's make sure our results replicate, so set the seed.
np.random.seed(0)
X = randn(n_vertices_sample, n_times, n_subjects, 4) * 10
for ii, condition in enumerate(conditions):
X[:, :, :, ii] += condition.lh_data[:, :, np.newaxis]
Out:
Simulating data for 6 subjects.
It’s a good idea to spatially smooth the data, and for visualization purposes, let’s morph these to fsaverage, which is a grade 5 ICO source space with vertices 0:10242 for each hemisphere. Usually you’d have to morph each subject’s data separately, but here since all estimates are on ‘sample’ we can use one morph matrix for all the heavy lifting.
# Read the source space we are morphing to (just left hemisphere)
src = mne.read_source_spaces(src_fname)
fsave_vertices = [src[0]['vertno'], []]
morph_mat = mne.compute_source_morph(
src=inverse_operator['src'], subject_to='fsaverage',
spacing=fsave_vertices, subjects_dir=subjects_dir, smooth=20).morph_mat
morph_mat = morph_mat[:, :n_vertices_sample] # just left hemi from src
n_vertices_fsave = morph_mat.shape[0]
# We have to change the shape for the dot() to work properly
X = X.reshape(n_vertices_sample, n_times * n_subjects * 4)
print('Morphing data.')
X = morph_mat.dot(X) # morph_mat is a sparse matrix
X = X.reshape(n_vertices_fsave, n_times, n_subjects, 4)

Morphing data.
Now we need to prepare the group matrix for the ANOVA statistic. To make the clustering function work correctly with the ANOVA function X needs to be a list of multi-dimensional arrays (one per condition) of shape: samples (subjects) x time x space.
First we permute dimensions, then split the array into a list of conditions and discard the empty dimension resulting from the split using numpy squeeze.
X = np.transpose(X, [2, 1, 0, 3]) #
X = [np.squeeze(x) for x in np.split(X, 4, axis=-1)]
Prepare function for arbitrary contrast¶
As our ANOVA function is a multi-purpose tool we need to apply a few modifications to integrate it with the clustering function. This includes reshaping data, setting default arguments and processing the return values. For this reason we’ll write a tiny dummy function.
We will tell the ANOVA how to interpret the data matrix in terms of factors. This is done via the factor levels argument which is a list of the number factor levels for each factor.
factor_levels = [2, 2]
Finally we will pick the interaction effect by passing ‘A:B’.
(this notation is borrowed from the R formula language).
As an aside, note that in this particular example, we cannot use the A*B
notation which return both the main and the interaction effect. The reason
is that the clustering function expects stat_fun to return a 1-D array.
To get clusters for both, you must create a loop.
effects = 'A:B'
# Tell the ANOVA not to compute p-values which we don't need for clustering
return_pvals = False
# a few more convenient bindings
n_times = X[0].shape[1]
n_conditions = 4
A stat_fun must deal with a variable number of input arguments.
Inside the clustering function each condition will be passed as flattened array, necessitated by the clustering procedure. The ANOVA however expects an input array of dimensions: subjects X conditions X observations (optional).
The following function catches the list input and swaps the first and the second dimension, and finally calls ANOVA.
Note
For further details on this ANOVA function consider the corresponding time-frequency tutorial.
def stat_fun(*args):
# get f-values only.
return f_mway_rm(np.swapaxes(args, 1, 0), factor_levels=factor_levels,
effects=effects, return_pvals=return_pvals)[0]
Compute clustering statistic¶
To use an algorithm optimized for spatio-temporal clustering, we just pass the spatial adjacency matrix (instead of spatio-temporal).
# as we only have one hemisphere we need only need half the adjacency
print('Computing adjacency.')
adjacency = mne.spatial_src_adjacency(src[:1])
# Now let's actually do the clustering. Please relax, on a small
# notebook and one single thread only this will take a couple of minutes ...
pthresh = 0.005
f_thresh = f_threshold_mway_rm(n_subjects, factor_levels, effects, pthresh)
# To speed things up a bit we will ...
n_permutations = 50 # ... run way fewer permutations (reduces sensitivity)
print('Clustering.')
T_obs, clusters, cluster_p_values, H0 = clu = \
spatio_temporal_cluster_test(X, adjacency=adjacency, n_jobs=1,
threshold=f_thresh, stat_fun=stat_fun,
n_permutations=n_permutations,
buffer_size=None)
# Now select the clusters that are sig. at p < 0.05 (note that this value
# is multiple-comparisons corrected).
good_cluster_inds = np.where(cluster_p_values < 0.05)[0]
Out:
