Compute source power using DICS beamformer#
Compute a Dynamic Imaging of Coherent Sources (DICS) [1] filter from single-trial activity to estimate source power across a frequency band. This example demonstrates how to source localize the event-related synchronization (ERS) of beta band activity in the somato dataset.

We are interested in the beta band. Define a range of frequencies, using a log scale, from 12 to 30 Hz.

Computing the cross-spectral density matrix for the beta frequency band, for different time intervals. We use a decim value of 20 to speed up the computation in this example at the loss of accuracy.
