Question About Exported Data Units in EEGLAB v6.03b #846
Comments
Anyone? Pleaseeee |
The exported alpha power values are definitely not in Volts or microVolts, they are either in microVolt^2 or 10*log10(microVolt^2). |
Thank you for your response. I understand that the exported alpha power values are either in µV² or 10 × log10(µV²). However, I am still unsure about how to properly interpret my extracted values and convert them to match our expected format. How can I determine whether my exported values are in µV² or 10 × log10(µV²)? Is there a way to verify this within EEGLAB or MATLAB? I appreciate your time and guidance in clarifying this issue. |
You can plot the spectrum and you will see right away if it is log power or not. This is log power spectrum https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSE0ClVcoqNAhcJ7hMBcRsB4wmvCmaa8jIKCg&s If it goes flat right away though it is microvolt square. To go back from log power spectrum to microvolt square, you do 10^(x/10) |
I am currently using EEGLAB v6.03b for EEG data processing and have encountered an issue regarding the unit of the exported data when analyzing absolute alpha power. I would appreciate guidance in confirming the correct unit and whether any transformations are required to match our expected format.
The data that we extracted:
0,0339722 0,10060299 0,05050097 0,01392906 0,01628528 0,01611051 0,03875389 0,0513764 0,00673493 0,14145665 0,03786448 0,00757985 0,0406878 0,01536764 0,02309678 0,03341658 0,05817799 0,05812679 0,03116332 0,01769405

I would like to confirm whether the exported absolute alpha power values are in Volts (V) or microvolts squared (µV²). Our expected format requires the unit to be µV², and we need to ensure that we are interpreting the data correctly. The unit that we expected was like this example:
Fp1 pré | Fp1 pós | Fp1 pós 30 | Fp2 pré | Fp2 pós | Fp2 pós 30
3,959671 | 2,264832 | 2,6023268 | 3,931522 | 2,449325 | 2,96393233
6,913344 | 7,642714 | 8,6252414 | 8,266277 | 9,789824 | 9,63509941
12,82466 | 11,45018 | 14,331688 | 13,83497 | 11,51249 | 14,6532677
9,57815 | 8,386484 | 5,0466436 | 10,31061 | 8,823149 | 5,37831897
8,144927 | 4,919925 | 8,9143992 | 7,814815 | 6,051634 | 9,96923938
27,33856 | 19,55958 | 27,834536 | 32,65109 | 22,5823 | 31,8768957
Additionally, we would appreciate guidance on where in the software settings we can modify the unit to match our expected format.
Questions:
What is the default unit of measurement in EEGLAB v6.03b for absolute power values?
If the data is stored in Volts (V), what is the correct transformation to obtain µV²?
Where in the EEGLAB interface or MATLAB scripts can we confirm and modify this setting?
