Analysis of evoked response using ICA and PCA reduction techniques

This example computes PCA and ICA of evoked or epochs data. Then the PCA / ICA components, a.k.a. spatial filters, are used to transform the channel data to new sources / virtual channels. The output is visualized on the average of all the epochs.

Transform data with PCA computed on the average ie evoked response



In [ ]:

    
pca = UnsupervisedSpatialFilter(PCA(30), average=False)
pca_data = pca.fit_transform(X)
ev = mne.EvokedArray(np.mean(pca_data, axis=0),

Transform data with ICA computed on the raw epochs (no averaging)



In [ ]:

    
ica = UnsupervisedSpatialFilter(FastICA(30), average=False)
ica_data = ica.fit_transform(X)
ev1 = mne.EvokedArray(np.mean(ica_data, axis=0),

ev1.plot(show=False, window_title='ICA')
