autocleaneeg-sl 0.3.0

Statistical Learning analysis for EEG - ZITC computation with LLM-assisted configuration

autocleaneeg-sl

Statistical Learning EEG analysis package - epoch extraction, configuration wizard, and Z-scored Inter-Trial Coherence (ZITC) computation.

Features

• Configuration Wizard - Infer paradigm parameters from event sequences using heuristics or LLM assistance
• Epoch Extraction - Extract word-locked epochs from continuous EEG with jitter detection
• ZITC Computation - Z-scored ITC using surrogate distributions for statistical validity
• Built-in Presets - Ready-to-use configurations for common SL experiments

Installation

pip install autocleaneeg-sl

Quick Start

Full Pipeline

# 1. Infer configuration from event sequence
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events-file events.txt --soa 300 --output config.yaml

# 2. Extract epochs using the config
autocleaneeg-sl epoch raw_eeg.set --config config.yaml --output epochs.fif

# 3. Compute ZITC
autocleaneeg-sl zitc epochs.fif --config config.yaml --output results.csv

Python API

from autocleaneeg_sl import (
    infer_config,
    load_events_from_file,
    extract_sl_epochs,
    compute_zitc,
)

# Step 1: Infer paradigm configuration
events = load_events_from_file("events.txt")
result = infer_config(events, soa_ms=300.0)

print(f"Word onset codes: {result.word_onset_codes}")
print(f"Words: {result.words}")

# Save validated YAML config
with open("config.yaml", "w") as f:
    f.write(result.to_yaml())

# Step 2: Extract epochs
epochs = extract_sl_epochs(
    "raw_eeg.set",
    word_onset_codes=result.word_onset_codes,
    syllable_soa_ms=300.0,
)

# Step 3: Compute ZITC
zitc_result = compute_zitc(epochs, freq_range=(0.5, 5.0), n_surrogates=200)

# Get ZITC at target frequencies
word_zitc = zitc_result.get_zitc_at_freq(1.111)  # Word rate
syllable_zitc = zitc_result.get_zitc_at_freq(3.333)  # Syllable rate

print(f"Word-rate ZITC: {word_zitc:.2f}")
print(f"Syllable-rate ZITC: {syllable_zitc:.2f}")

Configuration Wizard

The wizard analyzes event sequences to identify word structure in Statistical Learning paradigms.

Heuristic Inference

# From event file
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events-file events.txt --soa 300

# From string
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events "11 2 4 8 3 5 9 7 6 1 12 10" --soa 300

# Save to file
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events-file events.txt --soa 300 --output config.yaml

LLM-Assisted Inference

For complex paradigms with non-sequential syllable codes, LLM assistance provides better accuracy:

# Using OpenCode server (start with: opencode serve)
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events-file events.txt --provider opencode

# Using Anthropic API
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your-key
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events-file events.txt --provider anthropic

# Using local Ollama
autocleaneeg-sl wizard --events-file events.txt --provider ollama

Python API

from autocleaneeg_sl import infer_config, run_wizard, load_events_from_file

events = load_events_from_file("events.txt")

# Heuristic only
result = infer_config(events, soa_ms=300.0)

# LLM-assisted
result = run_wizard(events, provider="opencode", soa_ms=300.0)

# Access results
print(result.word_onset_codes)  # [11, 8, 9, 1]
print(result.words)             # [[11, 2, 4], [8, 3, 5], [9, 7, 6], [1, 12, 10]]
print(result.confidence)        # 0.95

# Get config object or YAML
config = result.to_config()
yaml_str = result.to_yaml()

Epoch Extraction

Extract word-locked epochs from continuous EEG:

autocleaneeg-sl epoch raw_eeg.set --config config.yaml --output epochs.fif
autocleaneeg-sl epoch raw_eeg.set --preset adult-sl-2017 --subject 001re

from autocleaneeg_sl import extract_sl_epochs, get_preset

# Using config
epochs, result = extract_sl_epochs(
    "raw_eeg.set",
    word_onset_codes=[11, 8, 9, 1],
    syllable_soa_ms=300.0,
)

# Using preset
config = get_preset("adult-sl-2017")
word_onsets = config.get_word_onset_codes("001re")
epochs, result = extract_sl_epochs("raw_eeg.set", word_onset_codes=word_onsets)

ZITC Computation

Compute Z-scored Inter-Trial Coherence:

autocleaneeg-sl zitc epochs.fif --freq-range 0.5 5.0 --surrogates 200
autocleaneeg-sl zitc epochs.fif --target-freqs 1.111 3.333 --output results.csv

from autocleaneeg_sl import compute_zitc

result = compute_zitc(
    epochs,
    freq_range=(0.5, 5.0),
    n_surrogates=200,
    seed=42,
)

# Access results
print(result.frequencies)      # Frequency bins
print(result.zitc)            # Z-scored ITC values
print(result.raw_itc)         # Raw PLV values

# Export
df = result.to_dataframe()
df.to_csv("zitc_results.csv")

Method

ZITC is computed as:

ZITC = (True PLV - Surrogate Mean) / Surrogate Std

Where surrogates are generated by circular time-shifting each epoch, destroying phase-locking while preserving spectral properties.
