EEGRAPH 0.1.17

No project description provided

EEGraph is a Python library to model electroencephalograms (EEGs) as graphs, so the connectivity between different brain areas could be analyzed. It has applications in the study of neurologic diseases like Parkinson or epilepsy. The graph can be exported as a NetworkX graph-like object or it can also be graphically visualized.

If you are using this library please cite it as:

Usage

Example usage of the library with Pearson Correlation.

---

Load data

import eegraph
G = eegraph.Graph()
G.load_data(path = 'eeg_sample_1.edf', exclude = ['EEG TAntI1-TAntI', 'EEG TAntD1-TAntD', 'EEG EKG1-EKG2'])

Electrode Montage

An electrode montage file can be specified for channels names while loading EEG data. Visit documentation for more info.

import eegraph
G = eegraph.Graph()
G.load_data(path = 'eeg_sample_1.edf', electrode_montage_path = 'electrodemontage.set.ced')

---

Modelate data

Without frequency bands

graphs, connectivity_matrix = G.modelate(window_size = 2, connectivity = 'pearson_correlation')

With frequency bands

graphs, connectivity_matrix = G.modelate(window_size = 2, connectivity = 'squared_coherence', bands = ['delta','theta','alpha'])

Threshold

A custom threshold can be specified as a parameter in modelate. Default threshold values can be found in the documentation.

graphs, connectivity_matrix = G.modelate(window_size = 2, connectivity = 'pearson_correlation', threshold = 0.8)

Window size

The window size can be defined as an int or list.

int: The set window size in seconds, e.g.(2). All the time intervals will be 2 seconds long.

list: The specific time intervals in seconds, e.g.[0, 3, 8]. The time intervalls will be the same as specified in the input.

---

Visualize graph

In order to visualize graphs, EEG channel names must be in one of the following formats:

• Standard: 'Fp1', 'Fp2', 'C3', 'Cz'...
• Dash separated: 'Fp1-EEG', 'Fp2-EEG', 'C3-EEG', 'Cz-EEG'...
• Space separated: 'EEG Fp1', 'EEG Fp2', 'EEG C3', 'EEG Cz'...

For the Space separtor the information on the left side of the separator will be ignored, the standard electrode name must be on the right side.

For the Dash separtor the information on the right side of the separator will be ignored, the standard electrode name must be on the left side.
