Dear fieldtrip users,
maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I try to obtain a spatial filter from localizing the sources of an auditory 3Hz peak in my FFT spectrum. I would like to apply the filter to my single trial real data, i.e. basically reducing my 204 gradiometer channels (neuromag system) to one or two channels in source space.
I was using DICS beamformer and cfg.realfilter = 'yes' but the source localization results (NAI) looked not too well compared to the nice auditory gradiometer topographies.
I then used ft_dipolefitting, however, I have trouble understanding the output. This is where I wondered whether someone could help me, in telling whether it is possible to obtain a real-value spatial filter from this:
source =
label: {204x1 cell}
dip: [1x1 struct]
Vdata: [204x408 double]
Vmodel: [204x408 double]
freq: 3
dimord: 'chan_freq'
grad: [1x1 struct]
cfg: [1x1 struct]
source.dip =
pos: [2x3 double]
mom: [6x408 double]
pot: [204x408 double]
rv: [1x408 double]
pow: 2.7948e+18
csd: [6x6 double]
fourier: [6x204 double]
I would appreciate helping comments, as I tested the different methods for some time now, but was unable to extract a reasonable real-value spatial filter for my auditory cortex activations.
Best regards,
Björn
