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

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.

drop_channels

Notes

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

add_reference_channels(ref_channels)[source]#

Add reference channels to data that consists of all zeros.

Adds reference channels to data that were not included during recording. This is useful when you need to re-reference your data to different channels. These added channels will consist of all zeros.

Parameters:

ref_channelsstr | list of str: Name of the electrode(s) which served as the reference in the recording. If a name is provided, a corresponding channel is added and its data is set to 0. This is useful for later re-referencing.

Returns:

instinstance of Raw | Epochs | Evoked: The modified instance.

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 | None

Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

Returns:

instinstance of AverageTFR: The modified instance.

property ch_names#: Channel names.

property compensation_grade#: The current gradient compensation grade.

copy()[source]#

Return a copy of the instance.

Returns:

copyinstance of EpochsTFR | instance of AverageTFR: A copy of the instance.

crop(tmin=None, tmax=None, fmin=None, fmax=None, include_tmax=True)[source]#

Crop data to a given time interval in place.

Parameters:

tminfloat | None: Start time of selection in seconds.
tmaxfloat | None: End time of selection in seconds.
fminfloat | None: Lowest frequency of selection in Hz.

New in version 0.18.0.
fmaxfloat | None: Highest frequency of selection in Hz.

New in version 0.18.0.
include_tmaxbool: If True (default), include tmax. If False, exclude tmax (similar to how Python indexing typically works).

New in version 0.19.

Returns:

instinstance of AverageTFR: The modified instance.

decimate(decim, offset=0, verbose=None)[source]#

Decimate the time-series data.

Parameters:

decimint: Factor by which to subsample the data.

Warning

Low-pass filtering is not performed, this simply selects every Nth sample (where N is the value passed to decim), i.e., it compresses the signal (see Notes). If the data are not properly filtered, aliasing artifacts may occur.
offsetint: Apply an offset to where the decimation starts relative to the sample corresponding to t=0. The offset is in samples at the current sampling rate.

New in version 0.12.
verbosebool | str | int | None: Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

Returns:

instMNE-object: The decimated object.

See also

mne.Epochs.resample
mne.io.Raw.resample

Notes

For historical reasons, decim / “decimation” refers to simply subselecting samples from a given signal. This contrasts with the broader signal processing literature, where decimation is defined as (quoting [1], p. 172; which cites [2]):

“… a general system for downsampling by a factor of M is the one shown in Figure 4.23. Such a system is called a decimator, and downsampling by lowpass filtering followed by compression [i.e, subselecting samples] has been termed decimation (Crochiere and Rabiner, 1983).”

Hence “decimation” in MNE is what is considered “compression” in the signal processing community.

Decimation can be done multiple times. For example, inst.decimate(2).decimate(2) will be the same as inst.decimate(4).

If decim is 1, this method does not copy the underlying data.

New in version 0.10.0.

Notes

timefreqs has three different modes: tuples, dicts, and auto. For (list of) tuple(s) mode, each tuple defines a pair (time, frequency) in s and Hz on the TFR plot. For example, to look at 10 Hz activity 1 second into the epoch and 3 Hz activity 300 msec into the epoch,

timefreqs=((1, 10), (.3, 3))

If provided as a dictionary, (time, frequency) tuples are keys and (time_window, frequency_window) tuples are the values - indicating the width of the windows (centered on the time and frequency indicated by the key) to be averaged over. For example,

timefreqs={(1, 10): (0.1, 2)}

would translate into a window that spans 0.95 to 1.05 seconds, as well as 9 to 11 Hz. If None, a single topomap will be plotted at the absolute peak across the time-frequency representation.

New in version 0.16.0.

Parameters:

tminNone | float

The first time instant to display. If None the first time point available is used.

tmaxNone | float

The last time instant to display. If None the last time point available is used.

fminNone | float

The first frequency to display. If None the first frequency available is used.

fmaxNone | float

The last frequency to display. If None the last frequency available is used.

The channel type to plot. For ‘grad’, the gradiometers are collected in pairs and the RMS for each pair is plotted. If None, then first available channel type from order given above is used. Defaults to None.

baselinetuple or list of length 2

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’)

vminfloat | callable() | None

The value specifying the lower bound of the color range. If None, and vmax is None, -vmax is used. Else np.min(data) or in case data contains only positive values 0. If callable, the output equals vmin(data). Defaults to None.

vmaxfloat | callable() | None

The value specifying the upper bound of the color range. If None, the maximum value is used. If callable, the output equals vmax(data). Defaults to None.

cmapmatplotlib colormap | (colormap, bool) | ‘interactive’ | None

Colormap to use. If tuple, the first value indicates the colormap to use and the second value is a boolean defining interactivity. In interactive mode the colors are adjustable by clicking and dragging the colorbar with left and right mouse button. Left mouse button moves the scale up and down and right mouse button adjusts the range. Hitting space bar resets the range. Up and down arrows can be used to change the colormap. If None (default), ‘Reds’ is used for all positive data, otherwise defaults to ‘RdBu_r’. If ‘interactive’, translates to (None, True).

sensorsbool | str

Add markers for sensor locations to the plot. Accepts matplotlib plot format string (e.g., ‘r+’ for red plusses). If True, a circle will be used (via .add_artist). Defaults to True.

colorbarbool

Plot a colorbar.

unitdict | str | None

The unit of the channel type used for colorbar label. If scale is None the unit is automatically determined.

resint

The resolution of the topomap image (n pixels along each side).

sizefloat

Side length per topomap in inches.

cbar_fmtstr

String format for colorbar values.

show_namesbool | callable()

If True, show channel names on top of the map. If a callable is passed, channel names will be formatted using the callable; e.g., to delete the prefix ‘MEG ‘ from all channel names, pass the function lambda x: x.replace(‘MEG ‘, ‘’). If mask is not None, only significant sensors will be shown.

titlestr | None

Title. If None (default), no title is displayed.

axesinstance of Axes | None

The axes to plot to. If None the axes is defined automatically.

showbool

Call pyplot.show() at the end.

outlines‘head’ | ‘skirt’ | dict | None

The outlines to be drawn. If ‘head’, the default head scheme will be drawn. If ‘skirt’ the head scheme will be drawn, but sensors are allowed to be plotted outside of the head circle. If dict, each key refers to a tuple of x and y positions, the values in ‘mask_pos’ will serve as image mask. Alternatively, a matplotlib patch object can be passed for advanced masking options, either directly or as a function that returns patches (required for multi-axis plots). If None, nothing will be drawn. Defaults to ‘head’.

contoursint | array of float

The number of contour lines to draw. If 0, no contours will be drawn. When an integer, matplotlib ticker locator is used to find suitable values for the contour thresholds (may sometimes be inaccurate, use array for accuracy). If an array, the values represent the levels for the contours. If colorbar=True, the ticks in colorbar correspond to the contour levels. Defaults to 6.

The sphere parameters to use for the head outline. Can be array-like of shape (4,) to give the X/Y/Z origin and radius in meters, or a single float to give just the radius (origin assumed 0, 0, 0). Can also be an instance of a spherical ConductorModel to use the origin and radius from that object. If 'auto' the sphere is fit to digitization points. If 'eeglab' the head circle is defined by EEG electrodes 'Fpz', 'Oz', 'T7', and 'T8' (if 'Fpz' is not present, it will be approximated from the coordinates of 'Oz'). None (the default) is equivalent to 'auto' when enough extra digitization points are available, and (0, 0, 0, 0.095) otherwise. Currently the head radius does not affect plotting.

New in version 0.20.

Changed in version 1.1: Added 'eeglab' option.

Returns:

figmatplotlib.figure.Figure: The figure containing the topography.

Examples using plot_topomap:

Frequency and time-frequency sensor analysis

reorder_channels(ch_names)[source]#

Reorder channels.

Parameters:

ch_nameslist: The desired channel order.

Returns:

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

drop_channels
pick_types
pick_channels

Notes

Channel names must be unique. Channels that are not in ch_names are dropped.

New in version 0.16.0.

save(fname, overwrite=False, *, verbose=None)[source]#

Save TFR object to hdf5 file.

Parameters:

fnamestr: The file name, which should end with -tfr.h5.
overwritebool: If True (default False), overwrite the destination file if it exists.
verbosebool | str | int | None: Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

read_tfrs, write_tfrs

shift_time(tshift, relative=True)[source]#

Shift time scale in epoched or evoked data.

Parameters:

tshiftfloat: The (absolute or relative) time shift in seconds. If relative is True, positive tshift increases the time value associated with each sample, while negative tshift decreases it.
relativebool: If True, increase or decrease time values by tshift seconds. Otherwise, shift the time values such that the time of the first sample equals tshift.

Returns:

epochsMNE-object: The modified instance.

Notes

This method allows you to shift the time values associated with each data sample by an arbitrary amount. It does not resample the signal or change the data values in any way.

time_as_index(times, use_rounding=False)[source]#

Convert time to indices.

Parameters:

timeslist-like | float | int: List of numbers or a number representing points in time.
use_roundingbool: If True, use rounding (instead of truncation) when converting times to indices. This can help avoid non-unique indices.

Returns:

indexndarray: Indices corresponding to the times supplied.

property times#: Time vector in seconds.

property tmax#: Last time point.

property tmin#: First time point.

to_data_frame(picks=None, index=None, long_format=False, time_format=None, *, verbose=None)[source]#

Export data in tabular structure as a pandas DataFrame.

Channels are converted to columns in the DataFrame. By default, additional columns 'time', 'freq', 'epoch', and 'condition' (epoch event description) are added, unless index is not None (in which case the columns specified in index will be used to form the DataFrame’s index instead). 'epoch', and 'condition' are not supported for AverageTFR.

Parameters:

picksstr | list | slice | None: Channels to include. Slices and lists of integers will be interpreted as channel indices. In lists, channel type strings (e.g., ['meg', 'eeg']) will pick channels of those types, channel name strings (e.g., ['MEG0111', 'MEG2623'] will pick the given channels. Can also be the string values “all” to pick all channels, or “data” to pick data channels. None (default) will pick all channels. Note that channels in info['bads'] will be included if their names or indices are explicitly provided.
indexstr | list of str | None: Kind of index to use for the DataFrame. If None, a sequential integer index (pandas.RangeIndex) will be used. If 'time', a pandas.Float64Index, pandas.Int64Index, or pandas.TimedeltaIndex will be used (depending on the value of time_format). If a list of two or more string values, a pandas.MultiIndex will be created. Valid string values are 'time', 'freq', 'epoch', and 'condition' for EpochsTFR and 'time' and 'freq' for AverageTFR. Defaults to None.
long_formatbool: If True, the DataFrame is returned in long format where each row is one observation of the signal at a unique combination of time point, channel, epoch number, and condition. For convenience, a ch_type column is added to facilitate subsetting the resulting DataFrame. Defaults to False.
time_formatstr | None: Desired time format. If None, no conversion is applied, and time values remain as float values in seconds. If 'ms', time values will be rounded to the nearest millisecond and converted to integers. If 'timedelta', time values will be converted to pandas.Timedelta values. Default is None.

New in version 0.23.
verbosebool | str | int | None: Control verbosity of the logging output. If None, use the default verbosity level. See the logging documentation and mne.verbose() for details. Should only be passed as a keyword argument.

Returns:

dfinstance of pandas.DataFrame: A dataframe suitable for usage with other statistical/plotting/analysis packages.
