Complex Demodulation Time-frequency transforms are obtained in a very fast implementation based on complex demodulation. Apart from source channels, intracranial channels, and scalp chan...
Source coherence From the single trials, time-frequency displays are generated by averaging spectral density amplitude or power over trials. Source coherence is calculated by averagin...
Covariance (Noise Regularization) Two methods to estimate the channel noise correlation matrix CN are provided by BESA Research: Use baseline or Use 15% lowest values. In each case, the a...
CSD and CSD Map (Current Source Density or EEG voltage) The surface Laplacian operator (second spatial derivative of the voltage distribution in tissue) calculates the volume current flow ...
DC Detrend (default in BESA) BESA Research uses settings provided in the initialization file BESA.ini whenever BESA Research is started or a new file is opened for the first time. The for...
FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) The Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) can be applied to a marked region, the data displayed on the screen, over a larger time range in the data between two ma...

MR Correction - for detecting and correcting MR scanner artifacts during combined EEG-fMRI measurements When combining EEG and fMRI data: You will simply open the EEG data file in BESA Rese...
Ocular Correction (Subspace projection-SSP, regression algorithm) This approach has been commonly applied in the literature. SSP does not contrast artifacts and brain activity. Rather, the ...
Ocular Correction ICA (based on ICA) ICA analysis allows decomposing EEG/MEG data into independent components. ICA decomposition is performed on the current screen and can be started from...
PCA (Principal Component Analysis) This method estimates the brain activity from the data currently displayed on the screen. The data is scanned in specified time intervals. Those segment...
Phase diagram The phase diagram option is used to analyze phase differences between coherent channels. This can give an insight into a possible coupling of brain regions which may be nece...
Segmentation It is possible to create new trigger events from any of the recorded channels. This is achieved by defining parameters that characterize the features of the event. After the ...
