Re2: [FIELDTRIP] freqanalysis_wltconvol variance

[Ingrid Nieuwenhuis]

Dear Amr



There is no MEX implementation. I'm quite sure (not 100% though, you could
test with tic toc to be sure) that mtmconvol is faster than wltconvol. I do
have some tips to speed up the analysis though:

1)       make the timesteps smaller, for instance 0.05 sec in stead of 0.01
sec. You have a time window of 0.5 second, so your actual time resolution is
quite limited anyway.

2)       Do you really need a frequency resolution of 2 Hz? You could start
with 5 Hz frequency steps and increase the resolution if needed later.



Hope this helps a bit,

Ingrid



PS please don't put my name above the question so also others can feel free
to answer the question. I don't mind answering questions (if they are well
phrased and I happen to know the answer such as in your case :-)), but I
also don't mind if others do ;-)

Dear Ingrid,

The analysis is painfully slow; it would need weeks to finish. Is there a
MEX implementation of the time freq. analysis? Which is faster wltconvol or
mtmconvol?
Below is the configuration of the time freq. analysis.

    cfg.sgn          = 'MEG';
    cfg.method       = 'mtmconvol';
    cfg.output        = 'pow';
    cfg.foi          = 40:2:100 ;
    cfg.toi          = -1.4:0.01:1.4;
    cfg.keeptrials='yes';
    cfg.t_ftimwin    = ones(length(cfg.foi),1).*0.5;   % length of time
window = 0.5 sec
    cfg.taper        = 'hanning';
    TFR = freqanalysis(cfg, TFA_slo_fz);

vs

    cfg.sgn          = 'MEG';
    cfg.method       = 'wltconvol ';
    cfg.width        = 7;
    cfg.output        = 'pow';
    cfg.foi          = 40:2:100 ;
    cfg.toi          = -1.4:0.01:1.4;
    cfg.keeptrials='yes';
    TFR = freqanalysis(cfg, TFA_slo_fz);

Data configuration:
Number of channels:151
Sampling rate:250
Number of trials:391

PC configuration: Windows Vista Business SP1 64 bit - Intel Core 2 CPU 6320
@ 1.86Ghz  1.86Ghz - RAM 4GB

Best regards,
Amr

Dear Amr,



If you do freqanalysis with cfg.keeptrials = 'yes', you get the power per
trial. If you subsequently use freqdescriptives (see help for detailed
options) you can compute the variance over trials.

Hello,

I am expecting that you are averaging the power spectrum across the trials
in freqanalysis_wltconvol. Is there a way to compute the variance across the
number of trials?

Thanks in advance
