Plot the phantom data, lowpassed to get rid of high-frequency artifacts. We also crop to a single 10-second segment for speed. Notice that there are two large flux jumps on channel 1522 that could spread to other channels when performing subsequent spatial operations (e.g., Maxwell filtering, SSP, or ICA).

Designing a one-pass, zero-phase, non-causal lowpass filter:
- Windowed time-domain design (firwin) method
- Hamming window with 0.0194 passband ripple and 53 dB stopband attenuation
- Upper passband edge: 40.00 Hz
- Upper transition bandwidth: 10.00 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 45.00 Hz)
- Filter length: 331 samples (0.331 sec)

Now we can clean the data with OTP, lowpass, and plot. The flux jumps have been suppressed alongside the random sensor noise.

raw_clean = mne.preprocessing.oversampled_temporal_projection(raw)
raw_clean.filter(0., 40.)
raw_clean.plot(order=order, n_channels=10)

We can also look at the effect on single-trial phantom localization. See the Brainstorm Elekta phantom dataset tutorial for more information. Here we use a version that does single-trial localization across the 17 trials are in our 10-second window:

def compute_bias(raw):
    events = find_events(raw, 'STI201', verbose=False)
    events = events[1:]  # first one has an artifact
    tmin, tmax = -0.2, 0.1
    epochs = mne.Epochs(raw, events, dipole_number, tmin, tmax,
                        baseline=(None, -0.01), preload=True, verbose=False)
    sphere = mne.make_sphere_model(r0=(0., 0., 0.), head_radius=None,
                                   verbose=False)
    cov = mne.compute_covariance(epochs, tmax=0, method='oas',
                                 rank=None, verbose=False)
    idx = epochs.time_as_index(0.036)[0]
    data = epochs.get_data()[:, :, idx].T
    evoked = mne.EvokedArray(data, epochs.info, tmin=0.)
    dip = fit_dipole(evoked, cov, sphere, n_jobs=1, verbose=False)[0]
    actual_pos = mne.dipole.get_phantom_dipoles()[0][dipole_number - 1]
    misses = 1000 * np.linalg.norm(dip.pos - actual_pos, axis=-1)
    return misses


bias = compute_bias(raw)
print('Raw bias: %0.1fmm (worst: %0.1fmm)'
      % (np.mean(bias), np.max(bias)))
bias_clean = compute_bias(raw_clean)
print('OTP bias: %0.1fmm (worst: %0.1fmm)'
      % (np.mean(bias_clean), np.max(bias_clean),))

Raw bias: 2.5mm (worst: 5.2mm)
OTP bias: 1.2mm (worst: 1.4mm)
