Linear classifier on sensor data with plot patterns and filters#
Here decoding, a.k.a MVPA or supervised machine learning, is applied to M/EEG data in sensor space. Fit a linear classifier with the LinearModel object providing topographical patterns which are more neurophysiologically interpretable [1] than the classifier filters (weight vectors). The patterns explain how the MEG and EEG data were generated from the discriminant neural sources which are extracted by the filters. Note patterns/filters in MEG data are more similar than EEG data because the noise is less spatially correlated in MEG than EEG.

Filtering raw data in 1 contiguous segment
Setting up band-pass filter from 0.5 - 25 Hz
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: 0.50
- Lower transition bandwidth: 0.50 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 0.25 Hz)
- Upper passband edge: 25.00 Hz
- Upper transition bandwidth: 6.25 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 28.12 Hz)
- Filter length: 993 samples (6.613 s)

Decoding in sensor space using a LogisticRegression classifier#
clf = LogisticRegression(solver="liblinear") # liblinear is faster than lbfgs
scaler = StandardScaler()
# create a linear model with LogisticRegression
model = LinearModel(clf)
# fit the classifier on MEG data
X = scaler.fit_transform(meg_data)
model.fit(X, labels)
# Extract and plot spatial filters and spatial patterns
for name, coef in (("patterns", model.patterns_), ("filters", model.filters_)):
# We fitted the linear model onto Z-scored data. To make the filters
# interpretable, we must reverse this normalization step
coef = scaler.inverse_transform([coef])[0]
# The data was vectorized to fit a single model across all time points and
# all channels. We thus reshape it:
coef = coef.reshape(len(meg_epochs.ch_names), -1)
# Plot
evoked = EvokedArray(coef, meg_epochs.info, tmin=epochs.tmin)
fig = evoked.plot_topomap()
fig.suptitle(f"MEG {name}")
Let’s do the same on EEG data using a scikit-learn pipeline
X = epochs.pick(picks="eeg", exclude="bads")
y = epochs.events[:, 2]
# Define a unique pipeline to sequentially:
clf = make_pipeline(
Vectorizer(), # 1) vectorize across time and channels
StandardScaler(), # 2) normalize features across trials
LinearModel( # 3) fits a logistic regression
LogisticRegression(solver="liblinear")
),
)
clf.fit(X, y)
# Extract and plot patterns and filters
for name in ("patterns_", "filters_"):
# The `inverse_transform` parameter will call this method on any estimator
# contained in the pipeline, in reverse order.
coef = get_coef(clf, name, inverse_transform=True)
evoked = EvokedArray(coef, epochs.info, tmin=epochs.tmin)
fig = evoked.plot_topomap()
fig.suptitle(f"EEG {name[:-1]}")
