Compute Power Spectral Density of inverse solution from single epochs

Compute PSD of dSPM inverse solution on single trial epochs restricted to a brain label. The PSD is computed using a multi-taper method with Discrete Prolate Spheroidal Sequence (DPSS) windows.

Compute source space PSD in label

..note:: By using "return_generator=True" stcs will be a generator object instead of a list. This allows us so to iterate without having to keep everything in memory.

Visualize the 10 Hz PSD:


In [ ]:
brain = stc.plot(initial_time=10., hemi='lh', views='lat',  # 10 HZ
                 clim=dict(kind='value', lims=(20, 40, 60)),
                 smoothing_steps=3, subjects_dir=subjects_dir)
brain.add_label(label, borders=True, color='k')

Visualize the entire spectrum:


In [ ]:
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(freqs, psd_avg.mean(axis=0))
ax.set_xlabel('Freq (Hz)')
ax.set_xlim(stc.times[[0, -1]])
ax.set_ylabel('Power Spectral Density')
