[FieldTrip] What are the units output by ft_freqanalysis_tfr?

[Eelke Spaak]

Hi Aaron,

How are you plotting the data? If you are using
ft_single/multi/topoplotTFR, did you use baseline correction
(cfg.baseline = 'yes' or [begin end])? If you use cfg.baselinetype =
'relative' or cfg.baselinetype = 'relchange', data plotted will
typically be on the order of 10e-1. It represents ratio vs baseline
('relative') or relative change vs baseline ('relchange').

If you did not specify baseline correction, then there is something
else going on. In any case, ft_freqanalysis does not explicitly
transform/normalize units; it does not care about them.

Best,
Eelke
