box tutorial topographic-map

Post by Bob »

Hello openvibe community,

I have a question to the toppgraphic-map.xml file.
The algorithm displays the EEG-Signals of the bci-motor-imagery.ov file. I can understand that you can calculate the biopotential between two of the ten+1 electrodes(marked area). But how is it possible to calculate the potential outside of the red area? I mean, there is no recorded data for it.

best regards
Bob

Hi bob,

The topographic maps use interpolation to compute a value for each area of the map.
Different interpolation methods exist, here we use Spline interpolation.

Thank you, Laurent.
But do you mean extrapolation?

Dear Bob,

This is indeed extrapolation and should be considered with care, but I believe you already know that.

Hoep this helps,
Yann
