| Wavelet analysis in ASA 4 |
The new Wavelet Transformation feature for ASA offers time-frequency analysis of EEG and MEG data based on the Morlet Wavelet. The wavelet analysis can be applied to both raw EEG/MEG and averaged data. The new module offers: - Time-frequency transformation based on Morelet wavelets - Can be applied to continuous and averaged EEG or MEG - Wavelet averaging for different conditions - ERD/ERS based on wavelets Some examples are shown below: |  |
ERD/ERS for a finger movement tasks Event related (de-)synchronization ERD/ERS of the wavelet transformation of brain activity. The example shows the ERD/ERS results for a voluntary finger movement task. The time-frequency maps show a clear ERS related to the onset of the movement (indicated by the blue spot in the map, nicely visible for channel C3). The time course of the activity in the frequency band 18-24 Hz is shown on the right side. The vertical green line marks movement onset, the ERS is visible shortly after movement.

Auditory P300 experiment Averaging of the wavelet transformation of EP and ERP experiments. The example shows the average of the wavelet transformation of an auditory P300 experiment with two conditions, frequent and rare stimuli. (click image to enlarge) |  |
Wavelet analysis of spike activity The time-frequency distribution of spike events is clearly visible with wavelet analysis. For each channel shown in the image on the right, the onset of the spike wave is displayed clearly in the corresponding time-frequency map for that channel. When an user clicks on a spot in the time-frequency map, the EEG time-marker automatically jumps to that moment in the EEG curves. This way, it is very evident how the EEG and wavelet time-frequency maps are related. A tooltip appears when an users holds his mouse over a area in the time-frequency map. The tooltip shows the current latency and frequency in Hz for that spot. (click image to enlarge) |  | ||
