## page was renamed from \TutPac = Phase-amplitude coupling = This tutorial introduces the concept of phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) and the metrics used in Brainstorm to estimate it. Those tools are illustrated on three types of data: simulated recordings, rat intra-cranial recordings and MEG signals. == Phase-amplitude coupling == Illustrated introduction and mathematical background. == Simulated recordings == Step-by-step instructions with as many screen captures as possible: generation and analysis of the signals. == Rat recordings == How to download the data. Step-by-step instructions to analyze the recordings. == MEG recordings == Step-by-step instructions to analyze the wMNE source signals for Phase Amplitude Coupling. In order to do this part of the tutorial you will need to get the file sample_resting.zip from the [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/bst/download.php|Download]] page. Preparation of the anatomy, basic pre-processing and source modeling will be only mentioned briefly and will be similar to the continuous recordings tutorials found here: [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/Tutorials/TutRawViewer|Continuous Recordings Tutorial]] === Step 1: Pre-processing === The first steps of include importing the anatomy and the functional data and projecting the sources. If you unsure how to do this the detailed steps can be found in the Continuous Recordings tutorial or within the tutorials for the '12 Easy steps for Brainstorm', all of which are available from this page: [[http://neuroimage.usc.edu/brainstorm/Tutorials|Tutorials]] ==== Anatomy ==== * Import the freesurfer anatomy folder and define the fiducial points. * The MRI coordinates for this dataset should be (+/- a few millimeters): . NAS: x=128, y=225, z=135 LPA: x=54, y=115, z=107 RPA: x=204, y=115, z=99 AC: x=133, y=137, z=152 PC: x=132, y=108, z=150 IH: x=133, y=163, z=196 (anywhere on the midsagittal plane) ==== Functional data ==== ==== Pre-Processing ==== === Step 2: Using the PAC Function === === Step 3: Verifying with Canolty Maps ===
