""" .. _ex-csd-matrix: ============================================= Compute a cross-spectral density (CSD) matrix ============================================= A cross-spectral density (CSD) matrix is similar to a covariance matrix, but in the time-frequency domain. It is the first step towards computing sensor-to-sensor coherence or a DICS beamformer. This script demonstrates the three methods that MNE-Python provides to compute the CSD: 1. Using short-term Fourier transform: :func:`mne.time_frequency.csd_fourier` 2. Using a multitaper approach: :func:`mne.time_frequency.csd_multitaper` 3. Using Morlet wavelets: :func:`mne.time_frequency.csd_morlet` """ # Author: Marijn van Vliet # License: BSD-3-Clause # Copyright the MNE-Python contributors. # %% import mne from mne.datasets import sample from mne.time_frequency import csd_fourier, csd_morlet, csd_multitaper print(__doc__) # %% # In the following example, the computation of the CSD matrices can be # performed using multiple cores.
