<div dir="ltr"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Dear Fieldtrippers,</font><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">In the beamformer tutorial (<a href="http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/beamformer">http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/beamformer</a>), the contrast of (post-pre)/pre was calculated to circumvent the noise bias towards the center of the head. </font></div>
<div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">However, I wonder whether it is possible to only localize the pre-stimulus oscillation source, such as pre-stimulus alpha power for example, just like localizing the sources of spontaneous oscillatory activity. Actually, I tried to do it, and use neural activity index to remove the center of the head bias, by setting <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:22.5px;text-align:justify">setting cfg.dics.projectnoise='yes'. But it doesn't work so well.</span></font></div>
