 ASA signal analysis 
 
Signal analysis in ASA
ASA provides a complete set of functions to study continuous and event-related activity recorded with EEG/MEG. It facilitates a sophisticated data review, signal filtering and artefact handling, event detection, conditioning of triggers and subject responses, averaging in time and frequency domain, a variety of transformation tools, and of course averaging over groups of subjects.
Analysis of large data sets is made efficient through the ASA Experiment Manager, which is an MS-Excel based application that tightly integrates ASA with automated processing of group data and post-processing of results.

The Study Manager
Importing and reviewing EEG/ERP or MEG data in ASA is one of the first steps to be accomplished. You can start ASA and drag your file from the MS-Windows® Explorer. Alternatively, you locate and open your files through the Study Manager. The ASA study manager scans one or more folders (including directories and shortcuts to other folders) automatically to list all recordings available in a particular format. The recordings can be sorted based in the list on the basis of information obtained from the recordings, such as the subject name or recording date.
The study manager lists all recordings of a certain manufacturer in a given folder.

Reviewing data
ASA gives you a maximum of flexibility for data review. The display can be configured for a particular purpose, e.g. an EEG/MEG combination with individual scales for channel groups. You can define customized montages with properties such as color, sensitivity and filters set for each channel or channel group. Easy navigation through your list of annotations, triggers, spike events etc, is supported; EEG and 3D mapping can be combined.
EEG and MEG are displayed simultaneously as overlaid channels per anatomical group.

The signal processing chain
ASA allows you to call signal processing methods, such as filtering, artefact correction, conditioning, and averaing, in a sequence that automatically updates itself as soon as parameters are altered. Rereferencing, resampling, ERD/ERS, group averagin - please contact us if you have specific questions concering a particular method.
An EEG average in two conditions is displayed in a 2D layout.
