Hi all,
I have a doubt with regards to mscohere function output in matlab. I have 64 channel EEG data to extract coherence data for. Which means I would need a 64x64 matrix output for a particular frequency band say 8 to 13 Hz. I went through the documentation of mscohere function sveral times. One thing that I saw was that mscohere Cxy part can either be a vector, matrix or 3-D array. When I use the following code to calculate coherence between just two channels, channel 20 and channel 50, I get a 501×1 single column vector:
ch1 = 20;
ch2 = 50;
window = 2*EEG.srate;
noverlap = 0;
nfft = window*2;
fs = EEG.srate;
[Cxy,F] = mscohere(EEG.data(ch1,:),EEG.data(ch2,:),window,noverlap,nfft,fs);
Cxy
Cxy =
501×1 single column vector
0.0003
0.0060
0.0042
0.0003
0.0047
Can someone explain this output to me? Are these coherence values between two channels at 501 different frequency points (I'm just guessing. Not sure!)? Also, how do I input the frequency band of my interest like 8-13 Hz and calculate coherence just for that? Are there more steps in calculating coherence in matlab? How do I get a single value (between 0 to 1) for channel 20 x channel 50 coherence for 8-13 Hz frequency band?
I hope my question makes sense. Please let me know if I need to explain anything further.
Thanks!
Satya
