Compute a cross-spectral density (CSD) matrix#

A cross-spectral density (CSD) matrix is similar to a covariance matrix, but in the time-frequency domain. It is the first step towards computing sensor-to-sensor coherence or a DICS beamformer.

This script demonstrates the three methods that MNE-Python provides to compute the CSD:

  1. Using short-term Fourier transform: mne.time_frequency.csd_fourier()

  2. Using a multitaper approach: mne.time_frequency.csd_multitaper()

  3. Using Morlet wavelets: mne.time_frequency.csd_morlet()

import mne
from mne.datasets import sample
from mne.time_frequency import csd_fourier, csd_morlet, csd_multitaper

In the following example, the computation of the CSD matrices can be performed using multiple cores. Set n_jobs to a value >1 to select the number of cores to use.

n_jobs = 1

Loading the sample dataset.

data_path = sample.data_path()
meg_path = data_path / "MEG" / "sample"
fname_raw = meg_path / "sample_audvis_raw.fif"
fname_event = meg_path / "sample_audvis_raw-eve.fif"
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(fname_raw)
events = mne.read_events(fname_event)

Opening raw data file /home/circleci/mne_data/MNE-sample-data/MEG/sample/sample_audvis_raw.fif...
    Read a total of 3 projection items:
        PCA-v1 (1 x 102)  idle
        PCA-v2 (1 x 102)  idle
        PCA-v3 (1 x 102)  idle
    Range : 25800 ... 192599 =     42.956 ...   320.670 secs
Ready.

By default, CSD matrices are computed using all MEG/EEG channels. When interpreting a CSD matrix with mixed sensor types, be aware that the measurement units, and thus the scalings, differ across sensors. In this example, for speed and clarity, we select a single channel type: gradiometers.

picks = mne.pick_types(raw.info, meg="grad")

# Make some epochs, based on events with trigger code 1
epochs = mne.Epochs(
    raw,
    events,
    event_id=1,
    tmin=-0.2,
    tmax=1,
    picks=picks,
    baseline=(None, 0),
    reject=dict(grad=4000e-13),
    preload=True,
)

Computing CSD matrices using short-term Fourier transform and (adaptive) multitapers is straightforward:

csd_fft = csd_fourier(epochs, fmin=15, fmax=20, n_jobs=n_jobs)
csd_mt = csd_multitaper(epochs, fmin=15, fmax=20, adaptive=True, n_jobs=n_jobs)

When computing the CSD with Morlet wavelets, you specify the exact frequencies at which to compute it. For each frequency, a corresponding wavelet will be constructed and convolved with the signal, resulting in a time-frequency decomposition.

The CSD is constructed by computing the correlation between the time-frequency representations between all sensor-to-sensor pairs. The time-frequency decomposition originally has the same sampling rate as the signal, in our case ~600Hz. This means the decomposition is over-specified in time and we may not need to use all samples during our CSD computation, just enough to get a reliable correlation statistic. By specifying decim=10, we use every 10th sample, which will greatly speed up the computation and will have a minimal effect on the CSD.

frequencies = [16, 17, 18, 19, 20]
csd_wav = csd_morlet(epochs, frequencies, decim=10, n_jobs=n_jobs)

The resulting mne.time_frequency.CrossSpectralDensity objects have a plotting function we can use to compare the results of the different methods. We’re plotting the mean CSD across frequencies. mne.time_frequency.CrossSpectralDensity.plot() returns a list of created figures; in this case, each returned list has only one figure so we use a Python trick of including a comma after our variable name to assign the figure (not the list) to our fig variable:

plot_dict = {
    "Short-time Fourier transform": csd_fft,
    "Adaptive multitapers": csd_mt,
    "Morlet wavelet transform": csd_wav,
}
for title, csd in plot_dict.items():
    (fig,) = csd.mean().plot()
    fig.suptitle(title)
  • Short-time Fourier transform, 15.8-20.0 Hz.
  • Adaptive multitapers, 15.8-20.0 Hz.
  • Morlet wavelet transform, 16.0-20.0 Hz.
