Looking for EEG Analysis to run

Discussions

Hello Everyone,

I am new to analyzing EEG data and was wondering if any one may have suggestions. I am starting a thesis on Resting State Networks and am looking for an analysis to use. I know a Fast Fourier Analysis can be used but I’m looking for a better visual analysis to show activity in correlation to electrode position as well as a way to study different oscillations (theta, beta, etc.). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Katelynn

Hi Katelynn,

We just finished a tutorial introducing some basic analysis of resting state analysis with Brainstorm (on EEG recordings):

I currently don’t have other directions to give you. I hope some of our collaborators will contribute soon to this section:

Cheers,

Hi Francois,

This looks great thank you so much! I was wondering if you may also know a way to do statistical analysis with this data via brainstorm (or if brainstorm can give me a numeric output I can put into SPSS to do statistical analysis on).

Thanks!

Non-parametric statistics indicated for time-frequency maps are also applicable to power in various frequency bands:

You can also export your data from Brainstorm and import it in SPSS.
