Bases: object

Customizable class with connectivity info from EEG/MEG recordings

__init__(data, trial_len, parameter, filt_mode, **kwargs)[source]

Class constructor

Parameters
  • data (bla bla) – Bla bla

class medusa.meeg.meeg.EEG[source]

Bases: BiosignalData

Electroencephalography (EEG) biosignal

__init__(times, signal, fs, channel_set, **kwargs)[source]

EEG constructor

Parameters
  • times (list or numpy.ndarray) – 1D numpy array [n_samples]. Timestamps of each sample. If they are not available, generate them artificially. Nevertheless, all signals and events must have the same temporal origin

  • signal (list or numpy.ndarray) – 2D numpy array [n_samples x n_channels]. EEG samples (the units should be defined using kwargs)

  • fs (int or float) – Sample rate of the recording.

  • channel_set (meeg_standards.EEGChannelSet) – EEG channel set

  • kwargs (kwargs) – Any other parameter provided will be saved in the class (e.g., equipment description)

change_channel_set(channel_set)[source]

Smart change of channel set, updating the signal and all related attributes

Parameters

channel_set (meeg_standards.EEGChannelSet) – EEG channel set

classmethod from_serializable_obj(dict_data)[source]

This function must return an instance of the class from a serializable dict (primitive types)

to_serializable_obj()[source]

This function must return a serializable dict (primitive types) containing the relevant attributes of the class

class medusa.meeg.meeg.EEGChannelSet[source]

Bases: SerializableComponent

Class to represent an EEG montage with ordered channels in specific coordinates. It also provides functionality to load channels from EEG standards 10-20, 10-10 and 10-5 directly from the labels.

__init__(reference_method='common', dim='2D', coord_system='spherical')[source]

Constructor of class EEGChannelSet

Parameters
  • reference_method (str {'common'|'average'|'bipolar'}) – Reference method. Recordings with common reference are referenced to the same channel (e.g., ear lobe, mastoid). Recordings with average reference are referenced to the average of all or several channels. Finally, bipolar reference is the subtraction of 2 channels.

  • dim (str {'2D'|'3D'}) – Dimensions of the coordinates plane.

  • coord_system (str {'cartesian'|'spherical'}) – Coordinates system. Take into account that, if dim = ‘2D’ spherical refers to polar coordinates

add_channel(channel, reference)[source]

Function to add a channel to the end of the current montage. Take into account that the order of the channels is important!

Parameters
  • channel (dict) –

    Dict with the channel data. The easiest way to calculate it is using function get_standard_channel_data_from_label. Keys:

    • label: channel label

    • coordinates: depends on the coordinate system and dimensions:
      • Dim = 2D:
        • Cartesian coordinates. Ex: {‘x’: 0.5, ‘y’: 0}

        • Spherical coordinates Ex: {‘r’: 0.5,

          ’theta’: np.pi/2}

      • Dim = 3D:
        • Cartesian coordinates. Ex: {‘x’: 0.5,

          ’y’: 0, ‘z’: 0.8}

        • Spherical coordinates. Ex: {‘r’: 0.5,

          ’theta’: np.pi/2, ‘phi’: np.pi/4}

  • reference (dict, list of dicts or str, optional) – For common and bipolar reference modes, reference must be a dict with the label and coordinates of the reference. For average reference, it can be ‘all’ to indicate a common average reference, or a list of dicts (with label and coordinates) of the averaged reference for each channel

See also

get_standard_channel_data_from_label

returns channel data given the channel label and the standard. It can be used to get the reference

check_channels_labels(labels, strict=False)[source]

Checks the order and labels of the channels

Parameters
  • labels (list) – Labels to check. The order matters

  • strict (bool) – If True, comparison is strict. The function will check that the channel set contains the channels given by parameter labels and in the same order. If false, the function checks that the channels are contained in the channel set, but they could be in different order and the set could contain more channels

Returns

check – True if the labels and order are the same. False otherwise

Return type

bool

compute_dist_matrix()[source]

This function computes the distances between all channels in the channel set and stores them into a matrix.

Returns

dist_matrix – Distances between all the channels.

Return type

ndarray of dimensions [ncha x ncha]

classmethod from_serializable_obj(dict_data)[source]

This function must return an instance of the class from a serializable (list or dict of primitive types)

get_cha_idx_from_labels(labels)[source]

Returns the position of the channels given the labels

Parameters

labels (list) – Labels to check. The order matters

Returns

indexes – Indexes of the channels in the set

Return type

np.ndarray

set_ground(ground)[source]

Sets the ground of the montage

Parameters

ground (dict) –

Dict with the ground data. The easiest way to calculate it is using function get_standard_channel_data_from_label. Keys:

  • label: channel label

  • coordinates: depends on the coordinate system and dimensions:
    • Dim = 2D:
      • Cartesian coordinates. Ex: {‘x’: 0.5, ‘y’: 0}

      • Spherical coordinates Ex: {‘r’: 0.5,

        ’theta’: np.pi/2}

    • Dim = 3D:
      • Cartesian coordinates. Ex: {‘x’: 0.5,

        ’y’: 0, ‘z’: 0.8}

      • Spherical coordinates. Ex: {‘r’: 0.5,

        ’theta’: np.pi/2, ‘phi’: np.pi/4}

set_montage(channels, ground=None, allow_unlocated_channels=False)[source]

Sets a custom montage, overwriting the previous one. Add single channels more easily using function add_custom_channel and add_standard_channel.

Parameters
  • channels (list) – List of dicts, each of them representing a channel. The dict must contain the label, coordinates according to parameters dim an coord_system, and reference. For common reference mode, the reference must be a single channel with label and coordinates. For average reference mode, reference can be a list of dicts with the channels (label and coordinates) or “all”, to specify common average reference. For bipolar reference mode, the reference must be a single channel with label and coordinates. In all cases you can set the reference to None, but this is not recommended. The definition of the coordinates may be skipped depending on the value of allow_unlocated_channels.

  • ground (dict) – Dict containing the label and coordinates of the ground electrode

  • allow_unlocated_channels (bool) – If False, the coordinates of all channels must be defined within channels dict. If True, the channels may not have known coordinates, This may be convenient if the localization of a channel is not known or it has a non-standard label, but the behaviour in functions that need coordinates (e.g., topographic_plots) is unpredictable.

set_standard_montage

preferred choice in most cases

set_standard_montage(l_cha=None, l_reference=None, l_ground=None, montage='10-05', drop_landmarks=True, allow_unlocated_channels=False)[source]

Set standard EEG channels with common reference. In 3 dimensions, the equator is taken a Nz-T10-Iz-T9.

Parameters
  • l_cha (list, optional) – List of channels labels. The data will be returned keeping the same order. If None, the channels will be returned in the same order as they appear in the corresponding standard in medusa.meeg

  • l_reference (str, optional) – Label of the reference. Usual choices are left preauricular point (LPA) and right preauricular point (RPA). Leave to None if you do not want to specify the reference (not recommended). Use only if reference_method is ‘common’.

  • l_ground (str, optional) – Label of the ground. Usual choices are AFz or FPz.

  • montage (str {'10-20'|'10-10'|'10-05'} or dict) – EEG standard. If its a string, the corresponding labels and locations of the standard channels will be loaded using the files in medusa.meeg. To load a different montage, use function as meeg.read_montage_file and pass the returned dict here.

  • drop_landmarks (bool) – Drop landmarks: nasion (NAS), left preauricular point (LPA) and right preauricular point (RPA) or mastoids (M1, M2). These are usually used as reference or ground points, so they are usually removed from the channel set for data analysis. Only used if l_cha is None.

  • allow_unlocated_channels (bool) – If False, all the labels in parameter l_cha must be contained in the montage, which contains the corresponding coordinates. If True, the channels may not be in the standard, and they will be saved with no coordinates. This allows to save labels that are not defined in the montage, but the behaviour in functions that need locations (e.g., topographic_plots) is unpredictable.
