First of all, thank you for the extensive work you do maintaining and continuously improving MNE, it is hugely appreciated.
I saw on GitHub that there were earlier discussions about integrating the wSMI (weighted Symbolic Mutual Information) metric into the mne-connectivity module. I was wondering whether this topic is still active, and if there are any plans or current efforts to include wSMI as a built-in connectivity measure in future releases?
This is on my to-do list. The metric has been implemented, but tests still need to be added to make sure everything is working as-intended before we include it. I can’t give a fixed date as to when this would be. If you are interested in contributing, that is very welcome.
The PR is here: https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-connectivity/pull/307 mne_connectivity/tests/test_wsmi.py are where most of the work is still needed (there are a number of review comments with specific points to address).
However, as things are at an advanced stage, it could be tricky unless you’re already familiar with writing unit tests. If you’re not comfortable with that, it’s completely fine. I will be spending some time this week to work on getting the tests into a more mergeable state.
