Amplitude envelope correlation methods: Old and new (2023) versions

The main changes are:

  • The newer process (HENV) Envelope correlation [2023] allows to compute the amplitude envelope using the (complex-Morlet) wavelet transform approach, not only Hilbert transform as in the previous process (AEC) Amplitude envelop correlation.

  • Symmetry in the connectivity matrix. When orthogonalization is used the amplitude envelope correlation is not symmetric. In the previous version (AEC) the correlations A×B and B×A were averaged with their sign. According to @hossein27en, this can result in strong correlations cancelling each other. For this reason HENV, obtains the absolute value of the correlations before averaging them. See:

  • In a recent update, August 2023, the orthogonalization and correlation were improved in HENV top avoid numerical errors. PR #632
