XDAWN Decoding From EEG data

ERP decoding with Xdawn [1][2]. For each event type, a set of spatial Xdawn filters are trained and applied on the signal. Channels are concatenated and rescaled to create features vectors that will be fed into a logistic regression.

FIR filter parameters
---------------------
Designing a one-pass, zero-phase, non-causal bandpass filter:
- Windowed time-domain design (firwin) method
- Hamming window with 0.0194 passband ripple and 53 dB stopband attenuation
- Lower passband edge: 1.00
- Lower transition bandwidth: 1.00 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 0.50 Hz)
- Upper passband edge: 20.00 Hz
- Upper transition bandwidth: 5.00 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 22.50 Hz)
- Filter length: 497 samples (3.310 s)

Patterns of a fitted XdawnTransformer instance (here from the last cross-validation fold) can be visualized using SpatialFilter container.

# Instantiate SpatialFilter

    clf, info=epochs.info, step_name="xdawntransformer"
)

# Let's first examine the scree plot of generalized eigenvalues
# for each class.

# capture most of the variance, let's plot their patterns.
# Each class will now return its own figure

    # Indices of patterns to plot,
    # we will plot the first three for each class
    components=components_to_plot,

    class_name = event_id_reversed[class_idx]
