Magnetic- and electric-evoked brain responses have traditionally been analyzed by comparing the peaks or mean amplitudes of signals from selected channels and averaged across trials. More recently, tools have been developed to investigate single trial response variability (e.g., EEGLAB) and to test differences between averaged evoked responses over the entire scalp and time dimensions (e.g., SPM, Fieldtrip). LIMO EEG is a Matlab toolbox (EEGLAB compatible) to analyse evoked responses over all space and time dimensions, while accounting for single trial variability using a simple hierarchical linear modelling of the data. In addition, LIMO EEG provides robust parametric tests, therefore providing a new and complementary tool in the analysis of neural evoked responses.
传统上,通过比较选定通道的信号的峰值或平均幅度,并对试验进行平均,来分析磁和电诱发的脑反应。最近,已经开发出了一些工具来研究单个试验响应的可变性(例如 EEGLAB),并测试整个头皮和时间维度上的平均诱发反应之间的差异(例如 SPM、Fieldtrip)。LIMO EEG 是一个用于分析所有空间和时间维度上诱发反应的 Matlab 工具箱(与 EEGLAB 兼容),同时使用数据的简单层次线性建模来考虑单个试验的可变性。此外,LIMO EEG 提供了强大的参数测试,因此在神经诱发反应的分析中提供了一种新的补充工具。
