Hi everyone,
I’m searching for some input in the following matter:
The study I’m working on is using a paradigm with spoken sentences wich have two signalwords (the triggers). I’m epoching and averaging each trigger seperately so I’m missing a timeperiod to use for baseline correction in front of the second trigger since it is in the middle of a spoken sentence.
I tried using baseline.rescale on the initial raw object with a timeperiod at the beginning of the measurement. It works but is kind of defeating the purpose of a baselinecorrection close to every epoch in a somewhat 30 min measurement with 180 of said sentences.
Is there a method or does someone has an idea for this?
I would simply create epochs with a pre-stimulus period that reaches back to the baseline you want to use, then use this baseline period (not the entire pre-stimulus period!) for baseline correction, and then crop the epochs to the time period you actually want to analyze.
Thank you very much!
I didn’t realise there is a crop method for epochs.
There is no fixed time between the first and the second trigger, but I think it’s manageable to find a way to set the baseline before the first trigger.
