The objective is to show you how to explore the spectral content of your data (frequency and time-frequency). Here we'll work on Epochs.
We will use this dataset: somato-dataset. It contains so-called event
related synchronizations (ERS) / desynchronizations (ERD) in the beta band.

Let's first check out all channel types by averaging across epochs.
In [ ]:
epochs.plot_psd(fmin=2., fmax=40., average=True, spatial_colors=False)
Now let's take a look at the spatial distributions of the PSD.
In [ ]:
epochs.plot_psd_topomap(ch_type='grad', normalize=True)
Alternatively, you can also create PSDs from Epochs objects with functions
that start with psd_ such as
:func:mne.time_frequency.psd_multitaper and
:func:mne.time_frequency.psd_welch.
In [ ]:
f, ax = plt.subplots()
psds, freqs = psd_multitaper(epochs, fmin=2, fmax=40, n_jobs=1)
psds = 10. * np.log10(psds)
psds_mean = psds.mean(0).mean(0)
psds_std = psds.mean(0).std(0)
ax.plot(freqs, psds_mean, color='k')
ax.fill_between(freqs, psds_mean - psds_std, psds_mean + psds_std,
color='k', alpha=.5)
ax.set(title='Multitaper PSD (gradiometers)', xlabel='Frequency (Hz)',
ylabel='Power Spectral Density (dB)')
plt.show()
Notably, :func:mne.time_frequency.psd_welch supports the keyword argument
average, which specifies how to estimate the PSD based on the individual
windowed segments. The default is average='mean', which simply calculates
the arithmetic mean across segments. Specifying average='median', in
contrast, returns the PSD based on the median of the segments (corrected for
bias relative to the mean), which is a more robust measure.
In [ ]:
# Estimate PSDs based on "mean" and "median" averaging for comparison.
kwargs = dict(fmin=2, fmax=40, n_jobs=1)
psds_welch_mean, freqs_mean = psd_welch(epochs, average='mean', **kwargs)
psds_welch_median, freqs_median = psd_welch(epochs, average='median', **kwargs)
# Convert power to dB scale.
psds_welch_mean = 10 * np.log10(psds_welch_mean)
psds_welch_median = 10 * np.log10(psds_welch_median)
# We will only plot the PSD for a single sensor in the first epoch.
ch_name = 'MEG 0122'
ch_idx = epochs.info['ch_names'].index(ch_name)
epo_idx = 0
_, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot(freqs_mean, psds_welch_mean[epo_idx, ch_idx, :], color='k',
ls='-', label='mean of segments')
ax.plot(freqs_median, psds_welch_median[epo_idx, ch_idx, :], color='k',
ls='--', label='median of segments')
ax.set(title='Welch PSD ({}, Epoch {})'.format(ch_name, epo_idx),
xlabel='Frequency (Hz)', ylabel='Power Spectral Density (dB)')
ax.legend(loc='upper right')
plt.show()
Lastly, we can also retrieve the unaggregated segments by passing
average=None to :func:mne.time_frequency.psd_welch. The dimensions of
the returned array are (n_epochs, n_sensors, n_freqs, n_segments).
In [ ]:
psds_welch_unagg, freqs_unagg = psd_welch(epochs, average=None, **kwargs)
print(psds_welch_unagg.shape)
We now compute time-frequency representations (TFRs) from our Epochs. We'll look at power and inter-trial coherence (ITC).
To this we'll use the function :func:mne.time_frequency.tfr_morlet
but you can also use :func:mne.time_frequency.tfr_multitaper
or :func:mne.time_frequency.tfr_stockwell.

# define frequencies of interest (log-spaced)
freqs = np.logspace(*np.log10([6, 35]), num=8)
n_cycles = freqs / 2. # different number of cycle per frequency

return_itc=True, decim=3, n_jobs=1)
