MNE-Python 1.2 released

Yesterday we released MNE-Python version 1.2, available now on PyPI and conda-forge.

This release includes contributions from 30 contributors including 11 first-time contributors: Andrew Quinn, Chetan Gohil, Daniel Carlström Schad, Dominik Wetzel, Hüseyin Orkun Elmas, Julius Welzel, Mats van Es, Moritz Gerster, Sebastiaan Mathot, Sena Er, and luzpaz. Thanks all!

Notable changes:

  • new option to compute forward solutions using symmetric BEM method via OpenMEEG

  • new classes Spectrum and EpochsSpectrum created via new methods Raw.compute_psd(), Epochs.compute_psd(), and Evoked.compute_psd(). These replace the functions psd_welch() and psd_multitaper() which are now deprecated.

  • new method for ICA objects: get_explained_variance_ratio()

  • cross-talk and point-spread can now be computed for vector and volume-vector source estimates

  • new class EOGRegression and corresponding example

  • common average referencing is now possible with ECoG, sEEG, and DBS data

  • parameter standardization for functions and methods that generate topomaps. Most prominently, colormap limits vmin and vmax are replaced by a tuple vlim, and the title parameter is deprecated (use matplotlib’s ax.set_title() or fig.suptitle() instead).

  • new channel types temperature and gsr (galvanic skin response)

The full changelog is available here.
