title: Computationally efficient approaches to calculating significant ERD/ERS changes in the time-frequency plane.
abstract: This paper addresses some practical issues related to the calculation, display and assessment of the significance of changes in the average time-frequency energy density of event-related brain activity. Using scalp EEG and subdural ECoG example datasets, parametric tests are evaluated as a replacement for previously applied computer-intensive resampling methods. The performance of different estimates of energy density, based on matching pursuit, scalogram and spectrogram, and their Box-Cox transformations is evaluated with respect to the assumption of normality required for the t-test, and the consistency of the final results.
