mne.time_frequency.EpochsSpectrum#

class mne.time_frequency.EpochsSpectrum(inst, method, fmin, fmax, tmin, tmax, picks, exclude, proj, remove_dc, *, n_jobs, verbose=None, **method_kw)[source]#

Data object for spectral representations of epoched data.

Warning

The preferred means of creating Spectrum objects from Epochs is via the instance method mne.Epochs.compute_psd(). Direct class instantiation is not supported.

Parameters:
instinstance of Epochs

The data from which to compute the frequency spectrum.

method'welch' | 'multitaper'

Spectral estimation method. 'welch' uses Welch’s method [1], 'multitaper' uses DPSS tapers [2].

fmin, fmaxfloat

The lower- and upper-bound on frequencies of interest. Default is fmin=0, fmax=np.inf (spans all frequencies present in the data).

tmin, tmaxfloat | None

First and last times to include, in seconds. None uses the first or last time present in the data. Default is tmin=None, tmax=None (all times).

picksstr | array_like | 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 good data channels (excluding reference MEG channels). Note that channels in info['bads'] will be included if their names or indices are explicitly provided.

excludelist of str | ‘bads’

Channel names to exclude. If 'bads', channels in info['bads'] are excluded; pass an empty list to include all channels (including “bad” channels, if any).

projbool

Whether to apply SSP projection vectors before spectral estimation. Default is False.

remove_dcbool

If True, the mean is subtracted from each segment before computing its spectrum.

n_jobsint | None

The number of jobs to run in parallel. If -1, it is set to the number of CPU cores. Requires the joblib package. None (default) is a marker for ‘unset’ that will be interpreted as n_jobs=1 (sequential execution) unless the call is performed under a joblib.parallel_config context manager that sets another value for n_jobs.

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.

**method_kw

Additional keyword arguments passed to the spectral estimation function (e.g., n_fft, n_overlap, n_per_seg, average, window for Welch method, or bandwidth, adaptive, low_bias, normalization for multitaper method). See psd_array_welch() and psd_array_multitaper() for details.

plot(*, picks=None, average=False, dB=True, amplitude='auto', xscale='linear', ci='sd', ci_alpha=0.3, color='black', alpha=None, spatial_colors=True, sphere=None, exclude=(), axes=None, show=True)[source]#

Plot power or amplitude spectra.

Separate plots are drawn for each channel type. When the data have been processed with a bandpass, lowpass or highpass filter, dashed lines (╎) indicate the boundaries of the filter. The line noise frequency is also indicated with a dashed line (⋮). If average=False, the plot will be interactive, and click-dragging on the spectrum will generate a scalp topography plot for the chosen frequency range in a new figure.

Parameters:
picksstr | array_like | 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 data channels (excluding reference MEG channels). Note that channels in info['bads'] will be included if their names or indices are explicitly provided.

Changed in version 1.5: In version 1.5, the default behavior changed so that all data channels (not just “good” data channels) are shown by default.

averagebool

Whether to average across channels before plotting. If True, interactive plotting of scalp topography is disabled, and parameters ci and ci_alpha control the style of the confidence band around the mean. Default is False.

dBbool

Whether to plot on a decibel-like scale. If True, plots 10 × log₁₀(spectral power).

amplitudebool | ‘auto’

Whether to plot an amplitude spectrum (True) or power spectrum (False). If 'auto', will plot a power spectrum when dB=True and an amplitude spectrum otherwise. Default is 'auto'.

xscale‘linear’ | ‘log’

Scale of the frequency axis. Default is 'linear'.

cifloat | ‘sd’ | ‘range’ | None

Type of confidence band drawn around the mean when average=True. If 'sd' the band spans ±1 standard deviation across channels. If 'range' the band spans the range across channels at each frequency. If a float, it indicates the (bootstrapped) confidence interval to display, and must satisfy 0 < ci <= 100. If None, no band is drawn. Default is sd.

ci_alphafloat

Opacity of the confidence band. Must satisfy 0 <= ci_alpha <= 1. Default is 0.3.

colorstr | tuple

A matplotlib-compatible color to use. Has no effect when spatial_colors=True.

alphafloat | None

spatial_colorsbool

Whether to color spectrum lines by channel location. Ignored if average=True.

spherefloat | array_like | instance of ConductorModel | None | ‘auto’ | ‘eeglab’

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.

New in v0.20.

Changed in version 1.1: Added 'eeglab' option.

excludelist of str | ‘bads’

Channel names to exclude from being drawn. If 'bads', channels in spectrum.info['bads'] are excluded; pass an empty list to include all channels (including “bad” channels, if any).

Changed in version 1.5: In version 1.5, the default behavior changed from exclude='bads' to exclude=().

axesinstance of Axes | list of Axes | None

The axes to plot to. If None, a new Figure will be created with the correct number of axes. If Axes are provided (either as a single instance or a list of axes), the number of axes provided must match the length of bands.Default is None.

A matplotlib-compatible color to use for the figure background. Defaults to black.

axis_facecolorstr | tuple

A matplotlib-compatible color to use for the axis background. Defaults to black.

axesinstance of Axes | list of Axes | None

The axes to plot to. If None, a new Figure will be created with the correct number of axes. If Axes are provided (either as a single instance or a list of axes), the number of axes provided must be length 1 (for efficiency, subplots for each channel are simulated within a single Axes object).Default is None.

blockbool

Whether to halt program execution until the figure is closed. May not work on all systems / platforms. Defaults to False.

showbool

Show the figure if True.

Returns:
figinstance of matplotlib.figure.Figure

Plot scalp topography of PSD for chosen frequency bands.

Parameters:
bandsNone | dict | list of tuple

The frequencies or frequency ranges to plot. If a dict, keys will be used as subplot titles and values should be either a single frequency (e.g., {'presentation rate': 6.5}) or a length-two sequence of lower and upper frequency band edges (e.g., {'theta': (4, 8)}). If a single frequency is provided, the plot will show the frequency bin that is closest to the requested value. If None (the default), expands to:

bands = {'Delta (0-4 Hz)': (0, 4), 'Theta (4-8 Hz)': (4, 8),
         'Alpha (8-12 Hz)': (8, 12), 'Beta (12-30 Hz)': (12, 30),
         'Gamma (30-45 Hz)': (30, 45)}

Note

For backwards compatibility, tuples of length 2 or 3 are also accepted, where the last element of the tuple is the subplot title and the other entries are frequency values (a single value or band edges). New code should use dict or None.

Changed in version 1.2: Allow passing a dict and discourage passing tuples.

ch_type‘mag’ | ‘grad’ | ‘planar1’ | ‘planar2’ | ‘eeg’ | None

The channel type to plot. For 'grad', the gradiometers are collected in pairs and the mean for each pair is plotted. If None the first available channel type from order shown above is used. Defaults to None.

normalizebool

If True, each band will be divided by the total power. Defaults to False.

agg_funcallable()

The function used to aggregate over frequencies. Defaults to numpy.sum() if normalize=True, else numpy.mean().

dBbool

Whether to plot on a decibel-like scale. If True, plots 10 × log₁₀(spectral power) following the application of agg_fun. Ignored if normalize=True.

sensorsbool | str

Whether to add markers for sensor locations. If str, should be a valid matplotlib format string (e.g., 'r+' for red plusses, see the Notes section of plot()). If True (the default), black circles will be used.

show_namesbool | callable()

If True, show channel names next to each sensor marker. If callable, 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 non-masked sensor names will be shown.

maskndarray of bool, shape (n_channels, n_times) | None

Array indicating channel-time combinations to highlight with a distinct plotting style (useful for, e.g. marking which channels at which times a statistical test of the data reaches significance). Array elements set to True will be plotted with the parameters given in mask_params. Defaults to None, equivalent to an array of all False elements.

mask_paramsdict | None

Additional plotting parameters for plotting significant sensors. Default (None) equals:

dict(marker='o', markerfacecolor='w', markeredgecolor='k',
        linewidth=0, markersize=4)
contoursint | array_like

The number of contour lines to draw. If 0, no contours will be drawn. If a positive integer, that number of contour levels are chosen using the matplotlib tick locator (may sometimes be inaccurate, use array for accuracy). If array-like, the array values are used as the contour levels. The values should be in µV for EEG, fT for magnetometers and fT/m for gradiometers. If colorbar=True, the colorbar will have ticks corresponding to the contour levels. Default is 6.

outlines‘head’ | dict | None

The outlines to be drawn. If ‘head’, the default head scheme will be drawn. 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’.

spherefloat | array_like | instance of ConductorModel | None | ‘auto’ | ‘eeglab’

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.

New in v0.20.

Changed in version 1.1: Added 'eeglab' option.

image_interpstr

The image interpolation to be used. Options are 'cubic' (default) to use scipy.interpolate.CloughTocher2DInterpolator, 'nearest' to use scipy.spatial.Voronoi or 'linear' to use scipy.interpolate.LinearNDInterpolator.

extrapolatestr

Options:

  • 'box'

    Extrapolate to four points placed to form a square encompassing all data points, where each side of the square is three times the range of the data in the respective dimension.

  • 'local' (default for MEG sensors)

    Extrapolate only to nearby points (approximately to points closer than median inter-electrode distance). This will also set the mask to be polygonal based on the convex hull of the sensors.

  • 'head' (default for non-MEG sensors)

    Extrapolate out to the edges of the clipping circle. This will be on the head circle when the sensors are contained within the head circle, but it can extend beyond the head when sensors are plotted outside the head circle.

borderfloat | ‘mean’

Value to extrapolate to on the topomap borders. If 'mean' (default), then each extrapolated point has the average value of its neighbours.

resint

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

sizefloat

Side length of each subplot in inches.

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, 'Reds' is used for data that is either all-positive or all-negative, and 'RdBu_r' is used otherwise. 'interactive' is equivalent to (None, True). Defaults to None.

Warning

Interactive mode works smoothly only for a small amount of topomaps. Interactive mode is disabled by default for more than 2 topomaps.

vlimtuple of length 2 | ‘joint’

Colormap limits to use. If a tuple of floats, specifies the lower and upper bounds of the colormap (in that order); providing None for either entry will set the corresponding boundary at the min/max of the data (separately for each topomap). Elements of the tuple may also be callable functions which take in a NumPy array and return a scalar. If vlim='joint', will compute the colormap limits jointly across all topomaps of the same channel type, using the min/max of the data for that channel type. Defaults to (None, None).

cnormmatplotlib.colors.Normalize | None

How to normalize the colormap. If None, standard linear normalization is performed. If not None, vmin and vmax will be ignored. See Matplotlib docs for more details on colormap normalization, and the ERDs example for an example of its use.

colorbarbool

Plot a colorbar in the rightmost column of the figure.

cbar_fmtstr

Formatting string for colorbar tick labels. See Format Specification Mini-Language for details. If 'auto', is equivalent to ‘%0.3f’ if dB=False and ‘%0.1f’ if dB=True. Defaults to 'auto'.

unitsstr | None

The units to use for the colorbar label. Ignored if colorbar=False. If None the label will be “AU” indicating arbitrary units. Default is None.

axesinstance of Axes | list of Axes | None

The axes to plot to. If None, a new Figure will be created with the correct number of axes. If Axes are provided (either as a single instance or a list of axes), the number of axes provided must match the length of bands.Default is None.

showbool

Show the figure if True.

Returns:
figinstance of Figure

Figure showing one scalp topography per frequency band.

reorder_channels(ch_names)[source]#

Reorder channels.

Parameters:
ch_nameslist

The desired channel order.

Returns:
instinstance of Raw, Epochs, or Evoked

The modified instance.

Notes

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

New in v0.16.0.

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

Save spectrum data to disk (in HDF5 format).

Parameters:
fnamepath-like

Path of file to save to.

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.

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

Export data in tabular structure as a pandas DataFrame.

Channels are converted to columns in the DataFrame. By default, an additional column “freq” is added, unless index='freq' (in which case frequency values form the DataFrame’s index).

Parameters:
picksstr | array_like | 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 a str, a pandas.Index will be used (see Notes). If a list of two or more string values, a pandas.MultiIndex will be used. Defaults to None.

copybool

If True, data will be copied. Otherwise data may be modified in place. Defaults to True.

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 frequency and channel. For convenience, a ch_type column is added to facilitate subsetting the resulting DataFrame. Defaults to False.

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.

Notes

Valid values for index depend on whether the Spectrum was created from continuous data (Raw, Evoked) or discontinuous data (Epochs). For continuous data, only None or 'freq' is supported. For discontinuous data, additional valid values are 'epoch' and 'condition', or a list comprising some of the valid string values (e.g., ['freq', 'epoch']).

units(latex=False)[source]#

Get the spectrum units for each channel type.

Parameters:
latexbool

Whether to format the unit strings as LaTeX. Default is False.

Returns:
unitsdict

Mapping from channel type to a string representation of the units for that channel type.
