mne.viz.plot_evoked_field

mne.viz.plot_evoked_field(evoked, surf_maps, time=None, time_label='t = %0.0f ms', n_jobs=None, fig=None, vmax=None, n_contours=21, *, show_density=True, alpha=None, interpolation='nearest', interaction='terrain', time_viewer='auto', verbose=None)

Plot MEG/EEG fields on head surface and helmet in 3D.

Parameters:

evokedinstance of mne.Evoked

The evoked object.

surf_mapslist

The surface mapping information obtained with make_field_map.

timefloat | None

The time point at which the field map shall be displayed. If None, the average peak latency (across sensor types) is used.

time_labelstr | None

How to print info about the time instant visualized.

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.

figFigure3D | mne.viz.Brain | None

If None (default), a new figure will be created, otherwise it will plot into the given figure.

New in v0.20.

New in v1.4: fig can also be a Brain figure.

vmaxfloat | dict | None

Maximum intensity. Can be a dictionary with two entries "eeg" and "meg" to specify separate values for EEG and MEG fields respectively. Can be None to use the maximum value of the data.

New in v0.21.

New in v1.4: vmax can be a dictionary to specify separate values for EEG and MEG fields.

n_contoursint

The number of contours.

New in v0.21.

show_densitybool

Whether to draw the field density as an overlay on top of the helmet/head surface. Defaults to True.

New in v1.6.

alphafloat | dict | None

Opacity of the meshes (between 0 and 1). Can be a dictionary with two entries "eeg" and "meg" to specify separate values for EEG and MEG fields respectively. Can be None to use 1.0 when a single field map is shown, or dict(eeg=1.0, meg=0.5) when both field maps are shown.

New in v1.4.

interpolationstr | None

Interpolation method (scipy.interpolate.interp1d parameter). Must be one of 'linear', 'nearest', 'zero', 'slinear', 'quadratic' or 'cubic'.

New in v1.6.

interaction‘trackball’ | ‘terrain’

How interactions with the scene via an input device (e.g., mouse or trackpad) modify the camera position. If 'terrain', one axis is fixed, enabling “turntable-style” rotations. If 'trackball', movement along all axes is possible, which provides more freedom of movement, but you may incidentally perform unintentional rotations along some axes. Defaults to 'terrain'.

New in v1.1.

time_viewerbool | str

Display time viewer GUI. Can also be "auto", which will mean True if there is more than one time point and False otherwise.

New in v1.6.

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:

figFigure3D | mne.viz.EvokedField

Without the time viewer active, the figure is returned. With the time viewer active, an object is returned that can be used to control different aspects of the figure.
