DICS with external sitmulus

External Email - Use Caution

Dear All,

I would like to source localize MEG coherence with an external stimulus (speech envelope) using DICS. This would be very similar to the cortico-muscular coherence analysis presented in the original DICS paper by Gross et al. (2001) PNAS. Digging through the MNE python tutorials, I couldn't find one for this analysis.

This question has been posted to the mailing list before: https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail/mne_analysis/2018-April/004883.html However, the provided responses in this thread point to an alternative solution instead of DICS.

I was wondering if in the meantime this has been implemented in MNE python? Any help pointing me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

M?t? Aller

Dear M?t?,

MNE-Python doesn't support this (yet). In our department, we are working
on an implementation of this, to be added to our DICS based connectivity
toolbox "conpy" (https://github.com/aaltoimaginglanguage/conpy). You can
check out the "external" branch of that repository, which contains our
work in progress code (in connectivity.py and check out the example in
examples/plot_coherence_ext_ref.py).

best,
Marijn.
