Identifies K-complexes in EEG data by lowpass filtering at 4 Hz, finding negative peaks exceeding a threshold amplitude, and verifying the characteristic negative-positive waveform morphology.

Usage

eegKcomplexDetect(
  x,
  min_neg_amplitude = 75,
  min_duration_ms = 500,
  max_duration_ms = 1500,
  assay_name = NULL
)

Arguments

x

A PhysioExperiment object with EEG data.

min_neg_amplitude

Minimum absolute negative peak amplitude in microvolts (default: 75). Peaks must be more negative than -min_neg_amplitude.

min_duration_ms

Minimum K-complex duration in milliseconds (default: 500).

max_duration_ms

Maximum K-complex duration in milliseconds (default: 1500).

assay_name

Input assay name. If NULL, uses the default assay.

Value

A data.frame with columns:

channel

Integer channel index.

negative_peak_sample

Integer sample of the negative peak.

positive_peak_sample

Integer sample of the positive peak.

negative_amplitude

Numeric amplitude at the negative peak.

positive_amplitude

Numeric amplitude at the positive peak.

duration_ms

Numeric total duration in milliseconds.
