conpy.connectivity.dics_connectivity(vertex_pairs, fwd, data_csd, reg=0.05, coh_metric='absolute', n_angles=50, block_size=10000, n_jobs=1, verbose=None)¶Compute spectral connectivity using a DICS beamformer.
Calculates the connectivity between the given vertex pairs using a DICS beamformer [1] [2]. Connectivity is defined in terms of coherence:
C = Sxy^2 [Sxx * Syy]^-1
Where Sxy is the cross-spectral density (CSD) between dipoles x and y, Sxx is the power spectral density (PSD) at dipole x and Syy is the PSD at dipole y.
Vertex pairs between which connectivity is calculated. The pairs are specified using two lists: the first list contains, for each pair, the index of the first vertex. The second list contains, for each pair, the index of the second vertex.
Subject’s forward solution, possibly restricted to only include vertices that are close to the sensors. For ‘canonical’ mode, the orientation needs to be tangential or free.
The cross spectral density of the data.
Tikhonov regularization parameter to control for trade-off between spatial resolution and noise sensitivity. Defaults to 0.05.
The coherence metric to use. Either the square of absolute coherence (‘absolute’) or the square of the imaginary part of the coherence (‘imaginary’). Defaults to ‘absolute’.
Number of angles to try when optimizing dipole orientations. Defaults to 50.
Number of pairs to process in a single batch. Beware of memory
requirements, which are n_jobs * block_size. Defaults to 10000.
Number of blocks to process simultaneously. Defaults to 1.
If not None, override default verbose level (see mne.verbose()
and Logging documentation for more).
The adjacency matrix.
