M/EEG power regression pipelines in Python

Covariance Data Frames for Predictive M/EEG Pipelines

Summary

The coffeine library implements provides a high-level interface to the predictive modeling techniques focusing on the M/EEG covariance matrix as representation of the signal. The methods implemented here are built on top of PyRiemann while the API is designed with the more specific use-case of building biomedical prediction models from M/EEG signals. For this purpose, coffeine uses DataFrames to handle multiple covariance matrices alongside scalar features. Vectorization and model composition functions are provided that handle composition of scikit-learn compatible modeling pipelines from covariances alongside other types of features.

The filter-bank pipelines (across multiple frequency bands) can the thought of as follows:

After preprocessing, covariance matrices can be projected to mitigate field spread and deal with rank deficient signals. Subsequently, vectorization is performed to extract column features from the variance, covariance or both. The Riemannian embedding is special in mitigating field spread and providing vectorization in 1 step. It can be combined with dimensionality reduction in the projection step to deal with rank deficiency. Finally, a statistical learning algorithm is applied.

The representation, projection and vectorization steps are separately done for each frequency band.

Installation of Python package

You can clone this library, and then do:

$ pip install -e .

Everything worked if the following command do not return any error:

$ python -c 'import coffeine'

Use with Python

compute_features

Compute power features from raw M/EEG data:

• The power spectral density
• The spectral covariance matrices
• The cospectral covariance matrices
• The cross-frequency covariance matrices
• The cross-frequency correlation matrices

The matrices are of shape (n_frequency_bands, n_channels, n_channels)

Use case example:

import os
import mne

from coffeine import compute_features

data_path = mne.datasets.sample.data_path()
data_dir = os.path.join(data_path, 'MEG', 'sample')
raw_fname = os.path.join(data_dir, 'sample_audvis_raw.fif')

raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(raw_fname, verbose=False)
# pick some MEG and EEG channels after cropping
raw = raw.copy().crop(0, 200).pick([0, 1, 330, 331, 332])

frequency_bands = {'alpha': (8.0, 15.0), 'beta': (15.0, 30.0)}

features, _ = compute_features(raw, frequency_bands=frequency_bands)

make_filter_bank_models

The following models are implemented:

• riemann
• lw_riemann
• diag
• logdiag
• random
• naive
• spoc
• riemann_wass
• dummy

Use case example:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from coffeine import make_filter_bank_regressor

freq_bands = {'alpha': (8.0, 15.0), 'beta': (15.0, 30.0)}
n_freq_bands = len(freq_bands)
n_subjects = 10
n_channels = 4

# Make toy data
X_cov = np.random.randn(n_subjects, n_freq_bands, n_channels, n_channels)
for sub in range(n_subjects):
    for fb in range(n_freq_bands):
        X_cov[sub, fb] = X_cov[sub, fb] @ X_cov[sub, fb].T
X_df = pd.DataFrame(
  {band: list(X_cov[:, ii]) for ii, band in enumerate(freq_bands)})
X_df['drug'] = np.random.randint(2, size=n_subjects)
y = np.random.randn(len(X_df))

# Models
fb_model = make_filter_bank_regressor(names=freq_bands.keys(),
                                      method='riemann')
fb_model.fit(X_df, y)
