reuse of beamformer filters

[Vladimir Litvak]

Hi,

I don't use sourcestatistics myself so I can't get to the bottom of
your problem, perhaps Robert or JM should try. The point is just that
you can compute filters from any data and then use them on any other
data. I don't know at what stage the baseline correction is done in
your case. I usually just get the raw output and then process in in
any way I like.

Best,

Vladimir

What I would like to do with these data later is to compare between two groups. I suspect some differences in their baselines. Hence, I would not like to work with source statistics (or relative power change values for that matter) but with raw power differences (i.e. task-baseline). Then I'd like to compare these raw power differences between the two groups. If I compare the two groups statistically using second level stats on t-values or relative changes, differences could be due to baseline differences, instead of task related absolute changes. Therefore I would like to compute the filters and keep them, but do not want to perform sourcestatististics in in each single subject, just source analysis.

I will also look a bit into the possibilities of sourcestatistics; whether I can actually get my desired difference output w/o stats (there should be a raweffect with each subject after sourcestats, shouldn't it. I could then use this raweffect as an input to the secondlevel sourcestats by copying it over to the correct field...).
