[FieldTrip] ft_lateralizedpotential question

[Lam, N.H.L. (Nietzsche)]

Hi Emilie,

We won't be ripping any fields anytime  ("Fieldrippers")  ;)

(1) Assuming your data has been calculated correctly, then the issue is the input argument you gave to ft_singleplotER

You should probably try:  <ft_singleplotER(cfg,lrp)  % giving ft_singleplotER only the 'plotlabel' field is incorrect because the function expects a struct (i.e. the structure of timelock of freqdata).

(2) Your second question is a bit vague, but logically speaking you will not find a difference between avgL and avgR if both are computed from the same dataset.  1-1 = 0, no difference.
Not sure what your pipeline looks like, but I suspect that you need timelocked data for only the left sensors in one data set (Lavg), and timelocked data for only the right sensors in a separate dataset (Ravg).

Good luck,
Nietzsche

Subject: [FieldTrip] ft_lateralizedpotential question

Dear Fieldrippers,

I have a small question about ft_lateralizedpotential.
I am currently trying to compute a LRP. Thus, I wrote:
avgL = ft_timelockanalysis(cfg, cleandata);
avgR = ft_timelockanalysis(cfg, cleandata);
cfg             = [];
cfg.layout      = 'biosemi64.lay';
cfg.channelcmb={'A13' 'B18'};
lrp=ft_lateralizedpotential(cfg,avgL,avgR);
cfg             = [];
cfg.xlim = [-2 1];
cfg.ylim = [-12 10];
clf;
ft_singleplotER(cfg, lrp.plotlabel)

There is apparently something wrong with the plot because I get the following error message:

Error using ft_checkdata (line 461)
This function requires timelock or freq data as input.

I have also tried to add a new avgLRP = ft_timelockanalysis(cfg, lrp);
and then to compute the plot based on that, but it is not working. If anyone has an idea!

Second question:, ft_lateralizedpotential only works (apparently) with two outputs (avgL and R, for instance). Thus, I computed the same ft_timelockanalysis with two different names, but I am not sure this is correct. Is someone able to answer?


Thank you in advance for your help!

Emilie
