The data were collected with an Elekta Neuromag VectorView system at 1000 Hz and low-pass filtered at 330 Hz. Here the medium-amplitude (200 nAm) data are read to construct instances of mne.io.Raw.

raw_fname = op.join(data_path, 'kojak_all_200nAm_pp_no_chpi_no_ms_raw.fif')

Data channel array consisted of 204 MEG planor gradiometers, 102 axial magnetometers, and 3 stimulus channels. Let’s get the events for the phantom, where each dipole (1-32) gets its own event:

events = find_events(raw, 'STI201')
raw.plot(events=events)
raw.info['bads'] = ['MEG2421']
../_images/sphx_glr_plot_brainstorm_phantom_elekta_001.png

Out:

645 events found
Events id: [   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9   10   11   12   13   14   15

   31   32  256  768 1792 3840 7936]

The data have strong line frequency (60 Hz and harmonics) and cHPI coil noise (five peaks around 300 Hz). Here we plot only out to 60 seconds to save memory:

raw.plot_psd(tmax=60.)

Let’s use Maxwell filtering to clean the data a bit. Ideally we would have the fine calibration and cross-talk information for the site of interest, but we don’t, so we just do:

raw.fix_mag_coil_types()
raw = mne.preprocessing.maxwell_filter(raw, origin=(0., 0., 0.))

Out:

We know our phantom produces sinusoidal bursts below 25 Hz, so let’s filter.

raw.filter(None, 40., h_trans_bandwidth='auto', filter_length='auto',
           phase='zero', fir_window='hamming')
raw.plot(events=events)
../_images/sphx_glr_plot_brainstorm_phantom_elekta_003.png

Out:

Setting up low-pass filter at 40 Hz
h_trans_bandwidth chosen to be 10.0 Hz
Filter length of 660 samples (0.660 sec) selected

Now we epoch our data, average it, and look at the first dipole response. The first peak appears around 3 ms. Because we low-passed at 40 Hz, we can also decimate our data to save memory.

tmin, tmax = -0.1, 0.1
event_id = list(range(1, 33))
epochs = mne.Epochs(raw, events, event_id, tmin, tmax, baseline=(None, -0.01),
                    decim=5, preload=True)
epochs['1'].average().plot()
../_images/sphx_glr_plot_brainstorm_phantom_elekta_004.png

Out:

Let’s do some dipole fits. The phantom is properly modeled by a single-shell sphere with origin (0., 0., 0.). We compute covariance, then do the fits.

t_peak = 60e-3  # ~60 MS at largest peak
sphere = mne.make_sphere_model(r0=(0., 0., 0.), head_radius=None)
cov = mne.compute_covariance(epochs, tmax=0)
data = []
for ii in range(1, 33):
    evoked = epochs[str(ii)].average().crop(t_peak, t_peak)
    data.append(evoked.data[:, 0])
evoked = mne.EvokedArray(np.array(data).T, evoked.info, tmin=0.)
del epochs, raw
dip = fit_dipole(evoked, cov, sphere, n_jobs=1)[0]

Now we can compare to the actual locations, taking the difference in mm:

actual_pos = mne.dipole.get_phantom_dipoles()[0]
diffs = 1000 * np.sqrt(np.sum((dip.pos - actual_pos) ** 2, axis=-1))
print('Differences (mm):\n%s' % diffs[:, np.newaxis])
print('μ = %s' % (np.mean(diffs),))
