timelockstatistics

Hi Christine,

 

 

 

I have some trouble using 'timelockstatistics' for task vs baseline
comparisons (the code I'm using is pasted below).

In the output of timelockstatistics, I get only one (!) time sample (prob,
stat, mask: 266 (channels) x 1 (time)), even if I specify the parameter
cfg.latency (e.g. [0 0.2]). However, when I plot the statistics afterwards,
it is possible to plot the whole time window I specified in cfg.latency -
even though the topography seems to be the same for each time bin...

The steps I do before computing timelockstatistics are the following:
1) Compute timelockanalyis separately for the task (cfg.latency = [0.05
0.4]) and the baseline (cfg.latency = [-0.4 -0.5]) separately
2) Compute timelockgrandaverage for task and baseline
3) Use the code below to compute timelockstatistics

Can anybody help me with this issue? 
I would be very glad about any suggestions on what is going wrong here!!



 

For permutation statistics with actvsblT to make sense, the number of time
samples in the activation and the baseline data must be equal. This does not
appear to be the case in your configuration for timelockanalysis.

 

Good luck,
