[FieldTrip] calculating behavioural-power correlation

[Stolk, A. (Arjen)]

Hey Hweeling,

It seems you're only inserting one input variable into the statistics function, i.e. "[c200_delta_stat] = ft_freqstatistics(cfg, sub_LF_c200{:});"

Could you try something along this line: ft_freqstatistics(cfg, freq1, freq2)

where freq1 is the original freq data, and freq2 is a copy of freq but with the relevant values (say, in powspctrm) replaced with behavior values (ensure this behavior matrix is matched in terms of size and dimensions to the original freq values).

Hope this helps,
Arjen

Dear Arjen,

Thanks for the prompt reply. I keep getting an error message when I set up my correlation cluster statistics, and I'm not sure what I could have done wrong. Here's my script:

cfg = [];
cfg.layout = 'EEG1010.lay';
cfg.neighbours = neighbours;
cfg.channel = 'all';
cfg.latency = 'all';
cfg.avgovertime = 'no';
cfg.avgoverchan = 'no';
cfg.avgoverfreq = 'yes';
cfg.parameter = 'powspctrm';
cfg.method = 'montecarlo';
cfg.statistic = 'ft_statfun_correlationT';
cfg.correctm = 'cluster';
cfg.clusteralpha = 0.05;
cfg.clusterstatistics = 'maxsum';
cfg.minnbchan = 2;
cfg.tail = 0;
cfg.clustertail = 0;
cfg.alpha = 0.025;
cfg.numrandomization = 1000;
cfg.ivar = 1;
cfg.uvar = 1;

% design matrices
clear design;
% change in MMSE score relative to baseline
design(1,:) = [0.095238095 -0.045454545 -0.533333333 0.238095238 -0.157894737 0.117647059];
design(2,:) = 1:6;
cfg.design = design;

% for delta band
cfg.frequency = [2 4];
[c200_delta_stat] = ft_freqstatistics(cfg, sub_LF_c200{:});
[c210_delta_stat] = ft_freqstatistics(cfg, sub_HF_c210{:});

Here's the output from Matlab:

Would you please tell what I have done wrong in this case?

Thanks!

Hi Hweeling,

Have a look at the help of ft_statfun_correlationT, which might be the function you're looking for. This function calculates correlations between two variables (e.g. subjects' behaviors and brain activities) and converts the resulting correlation coefficients to t-statistics.

Best,
arjen

Dear all,

I read on the "walkthrough" that it is possible to calculate behavioural-power correlation across subjects. However, I was not sure what type of descriptive statistics (i.e. cfg.statistics) I should use when performing correlation cluster statistics.

Would someone please enlighten me which type of statistics I should input for cfg.statistics?

Thanks!

Best regards,
Hweeling
