ravetools

R-CMD-check CRAN status r-universe

The goal of ravetools is to provide memory-efficient signal & image processing toolbox for intracranial Electroencephalography. Highlighted features include:

Installation

The package is available on CRAN. To install the compiled version, simply run:

install.packages("ravetools")

Installing the package from source requires installation of proper compilers and some C libraries; see this document for details.

iEEG preprocess pipeline

This is a basic example which shows you how to preprocess an iEEG signal. The goal here is to:

* Channel referencing is not included

1. Generate toy examples:

library(ravetools)

# Generate 20 second data at 2000 Hz
time <- seq(0, 20, by = 1 / 2000)
signal <- sin( 120 * pi * time) + 
  sin(time * 20*pi) + 
  exp(-time^2) * 
  cos(time * 10*pi) +
  rnorm(length(time))

diagnose_channel(signal, srate = 2000)

2. Apply Notch filters and inspect Periodograms

## ------- Notch filter --------
signal2 <- notch_filter(signal, sample_rate = 2000)

diagnose_channel(signal, signal2, srate = 2000,
                 name = c("Raw", "Filtered"))

3. Frequency-time decomposition

Current version of ravetools provides two approaches: Wavelet and Multi-taper. Wavelet uses the Morlet wavelet and obtains both amplitude and phase data, while Multi-taper does not generate phase data. However, the amplitude obtained from Multi-taper is smoother than Wavelet.

Using Wavelet:

## ---------- Wavelet -----------
coef <- morlet_wavelet(
  signal2, freqs = seq(1, 100, by = 1), 
  srate = 2000, wave_num = c(2, 15))
amplitude <- 20 * log10(Mod(coef[]))

# For each frequency, decimate to 100 Hz
downsample_amp <- apply(amplitude, 2, decimate, q = 20)
downsample_time <- decimate(time, q = 20)

par(mfrow = c(1,1))
image(
  z = downsample_amp,
  x = downsample_time,
  y = seq(1, 100, by = 1),
  xlab = "Time (s)",
  ylab = "Frequency (Hz)",
  main = "Amplitude (dB)",
  sub = "Wavelet at 2000 Hz, then down-sampled to 100 Hz", 
  col = matlab_palette()
)

Multi-taper

Alternatively you can use Multi-tapers to obtain amplitude data. The algorithm is modified from source code here. Please credit them as well if you adopt this approach.

## ---------- Multitaper -----------
res <- multitaper(
  data = signal2,
  fs = 2000,
  frequency_range = c(1, 100),
  time_bandwidth = 1.5,
  window_params = c(2, 0.01),
  nfft = 100
)

par(mfrow = c(1,1))
image(
  x = res$time,
  y = res$frequency,
  z = 10 * log10(res$spec),
  xlab = "Time (s)",
  ylab = 'Frequency (Hz)',
  col = matlab_palette(),
  main = "Amplitude (dB)"
)

Image alignment

ravetools provides imaging co-registration via NiftyReg (doi.org/10.1117/1.JMI.1.2.024003). You can align CT to MRI, or MRI (T2) to MRI (T1). The method can be body rigid, affine, or non-linear.

source <- system.file("extdata", "epi_t2.nii.gz", package="RNiftyReg")
target <- system.file("extdata", "flash_t1.nii.gz", package="RNiftyReg")
aligned <- register_volume(source, target, verbose = FALSE)

source_img <- aligned$source[[1]]
target_img <- aligned$target
aligned_img <- aligned$image

par(mfrow = c(2, 2), mar = c(0.1, 0.1, 3.1, 0.1))

pal <- grDevices::grey.colors(256, alpha = 1)
image(source_img[,,30], asp = 1, axes = FALSE,
      col = pal, main = "Source image")
image(target_img[,,64], asp = 1, axes = FALSE,
      col = pal, main = "Target image")
image(aligned_img[,,64], asp = 1, axes = FALSE,
      col = pal, main = "Aligned image")

# bucket fill and calculate differences
aligned_img[is.nan(aligned_img) | aligned_img <= 1] <- 1
target_img[is.nan(target_img) | aligned_img <= 1] <- 1
diff <- abs(aligned_img / target_img - 1)
image(diff[,,64], asp = 1, axes = FALSE,
      col = pal, main = "Percentage Difference")
