Lab notebook

STEP1: preparation (Weeks 1 - 5: 04.05.2021 - 13.06.2021)

  • creating github repository

  • creating project in osf.io

  • preregistration on osf

  • get to know jupyter, python, docker etc.

  • literature search

  • problems/ issues:

    • docker doesn’t run -> solved

    • couldn’t find as much literature as I wanted to

STEP2: looking at the data (Weeks 6 & 7: 07.06.2021 - 20.06.2021)

  • read-in the EEG files

  • sub 06 block3 and sub 07 block 01 seem to be missing!!

  • electrode Fp1 weird -> excluded!!

    • probably Fp1 was on the wrong place somewhere posterior

  • problems/ issues:

    • problems with mne: didn’t run properly

STEP3: Preprocessing - filtering (Weeks 8 & 9: 21.06. - 04.07.)

  • filter: l_freq=0.1, h_freq=50.0

  • reference: average

  • raw files saved

    • problems with mne: didn’t run properly -> solved

    • problems with reading the data -> solved

STEP4: Preprocessing - ICA (Weeks 10 - 11: 05.07. - 18.07.)

  • ICA templates for eye movements (vertical & horizontal) taken from sub 01

  • automatic detection with threshold 0.85

  • excluded components can be found in excludedcomp.csv

  • for some of the subjects it could not be found in the loop (the loop gave an error if only one of the two components exist) -> used templates by hand

  • problems / issues

    • couldn’t save components -> solved

    • for some of the subjects it could not be found with the loop -> used templates manually (probably try exept would have been the smarter solution)

STEP5: Analysis (Weeks 12 - 13: 19.07. - 01.08.)

  • dividing in epochs

  • standard

  • target

  • non_Target

  • first and last repetition

  • subject 12 block 01 weird electrode?? weird plots -> excluded

  • grand averages

  • difference waves: target-standard, first&last repetition

  • problems / issues:

    • subject 12 block 01 weird -> excluded (see picture)

    • all standards had the same marker -> how can I filter out the firt and last repetition -> solved using Pandas package and shifting markers to select standards following deviants

grand average before excluding sub 12 bl 01

STEP6: Poster & Jupyter notebook (Weeks 14 - : 02.08. -

  • creating jupyter notebook out of github account

  • updating github pages

  • updating osf.io

  • making poster

  • problems / issues:

    • problems with turining github repository into jupyter notebook: wrong page displayed -> solved
