Calculates temporal statistics for each microstate class from a segmented EEG recording: mean duration, occurrence rate, and time coverage. Also computes the transition probability matrix between states.

Usage

eegMicrostateStats(x)

Arguments

x

A PhysioExperiment object with microstate labels in metadata(x)$microstates (from eegMicrostates).

Value

A data.frame with columns:

state

Integer microstate class (1 to n_states).

duration_ms

Mean duration of consecutive runs in milliseconds.

occurrence_per_sec

Number of state occurrences (runs) per second.

coverage_pct

Percentage of total time spent in this state.

The transition probability matrix (n_states x n_states) is stored as an attribute "transition_matrix".

stats <- eegMicrostateStats(pe)
print(stats)
attr(stats, "transition_matrix")
