EMSE v5.4 is now available for download from www.sourcesignal.com/download.html.

What's New in EMSE Suite v5.4

EMSE 5.4 adds many new features to EMSE Suite, including:

-   Support of Start/Stop markers in a BioSemi continuous file by creating a multi-segmented file

-   Polynomial detrend of multi-segmented continuous files

-   Each segment is IIR-filtered separately when saving a multi-segmented continuous file

-   Batch averaging of frequency (psd) and time frequency data

-   New event-related averaging pipeline to manage multi-subject, multi-event-type data for automated analysis

-   Improved methods and a new user interface to specify logical rules for event sorting

-   Additional formatting capabilities for peak detection output to statistical packages, such as SPSS

-   Collect multiple averages into a single file for integrated review and analysis group data (e.g., group spatial component analysis)

-   Image alignment to allow users to align, e.g., MRIs with CTs, or read out MNI or Talairach coordinates from individual subject MRIs

-   Nonparametric (permutation) statistical testing and enhanced visualization for spectral band coherence and power spectral density data

-   fMRI gradient artifact and ballistocardiogram correction

-   Time frequency enhancements, including

• dipole fitting in the time frequency domain

• faster, more efficient displays

• faster, more efficient file storage for time-frequency transformed data

• automated peak detection in the time-frequency domain

-   Enhanced file I/O capabilities

• Read/Write EDF+ files

• Read Nihon Kohden native files

• Write Compumedics Neuroscan continuous (.CNT) files

• Write multiple averages to EGI segmented simple binary format (compatible with NEMO and J. Dien’s ERP PCA toolkit)

• Graphical user interface to create concatenated time series data files (EMSE metafiles)

• Import Freesurfer wireframe and image files

-   Additional filtering capabilities

• Moving average baseline and batch moving average baseline correction (useful for correcting near-DC drift)

• Z-score filter (for e.g., event-related synchronization/desynchronization)

• Savitsky-Golay filter (useful on conjunction with peak detection)
