---

Method info()

obtain the information

Usage

ECoGRepository$info(print = TRUE)

Arguments

print

logical, whether to print the information, default is true

Returns

character of the information

---

Method print()

print memory address

Usage

ECoGRepository$print(...)

Arguments

...

ignored

Returns

none

---

Method new()

constructor

Usage

ECoGRepository$new(subject, reference = "default", autoload = TRUE)

Arguments

subject

character such as "project/subject" or Subject instance

reference

character, reference name, default is "default", which refers to "reference_default.csv" in subject meta folder

autoload

logical, whether to auto-load reference for all electrodes, default is yes.

Returns

An ECoGRepository instance

---

Method get_electrode()

get Electrode instances

Usage

ECoGRepository$get_electrode(electrode, name = "raw")

Arguments

electrode

integers, referring to electrode numbers

name

character, "raw", "power", "raw_phase", etc.

Returns

list of environments containing electrode instances

---

Method load_electrodes()

load electrodes; usually don't need to directly call this method if autoload is true when initializing the repository

Usage

ECoGRepository$load_electrodes(electrodes, reference = "default")

Arguments

electrodes

electrode number (integer)

reference

name of reference

Returns

none

---

Method epoch()

slice the data according to epoch table

Usage

ECoGRepository$epoch(
  epoch_name,
  pre,
  post,
  electrodes = NULL,
  frequency_range = NULL,
  data_type = "power",
  referenced = TRUE,
  func = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

epoch_name

the name of epoch; for example, "YABa" refers to "epoch_YABa.csv" in subject meta folder.

pre

positive number in seconds, how long should the time be kept before the onset

post

positive number in seconds, how long should the time be kept after onset

electrodes

integers, electrode numbers

frequency_range

experimental, frequency range to include

data_type

data types to epoch; default is "power", which is power spectrum, or amplitude. Other choices are "phase" for phase data and "volt" for voltage or analog signal traces.

referenced

whether to load data referenced or without reference

func

experimental, function to apply to each electrodes

quiet

whether to suppress output messages, default is no

Returns

none. However the results are stored in public fields.

---

Method load_reference()

load references

Usage

ECoGRepository$load_reference(ref_name, electrodes = NULL)

Arguments

ref_name

reference name

electrodes

electrode numbers

Returns

none

---

Method baseline()

baseline signals (deprecated)

Usage

ECoGRepository$baseline(from, to, electrodes = NULL, print.time = FALSE)

Arguments

from, to, electrodes, print.time

internally used

Returns

data after baseline. Please use baseline instead

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{

# Two ways to create instances
repo <- ECoGRepository$new('demo/YAB')

subject <- Subject$new(project_name = 'demo', subject_code = 'YAB')
repo <- ECoGRepository$new(subject)

# Create an instance without auto collecting references, only load 
# interesting electrodes
repo <- ECoGRepository$new('demo/YAB', autoload = FALSE)
repo$load_electrodes(c(14,15))

# Create an instance with non-default reference
repo <- ECoGRepository$new('demo/YAB', reference = 'bipolar')

# Epoch data according to epoch file "epoch_YABaOutlier.csv" in meta folder
# epoch_name should be "epoch_(name).csv"
repo$epoch(epoch_name = 'YABaOutlier', pre = 1, post = 2, 
           electrodes = 14, referenced = TRUE, data_type = "power")
repo$power
