Problem with opening file with load_open_ephys_data.m

[yannunh]

The m file and spike, continuous and event file is in same dir. ( same error with continuous and event file)

I already tried with this commands:
load_open_ephys_data("C:\Open Ephys\2018-06-01_19-23-51\100_CH31.continuous");

anything else I need to do? I copied (https://github.com/open-ephys/analysis-tools/blob/master/load_open_ephys_data.m) this in new script file and named load_open_ephys_data.m

The filename should be given in single quotes not double quotes as you have done.

e.g.
load_open_ephys_data('100_CH31.continuous');

adehad,
this works so well.
Thanks

after loading the files how can we plot power-spectrum and amplitude spectrum graphs for certain time period.

[adehad]

@pranavswaroopgundla
Try something like this for a PSD:

Fs = 3e3; % sampling frequency
spect.winSize = 2^12;   % window size
spect.win = blackman(spect.winSize);
spect.overlap = 0.8;    % percentage window overlap
spect.nOverlap = floor(spect.winSize*spect.overlap);
spect.nFFT = 10*Fs;     % number of fft samples, e.g. 10 per sample
figure;
spectrogram(sig, spect.win, spect.nOverlap, spect.nFFT, Fs, 'xaxis','psd'); 
colormap(hot)

Where sig is your signal for a given time period.
You can replace 'psd' with 'power' for a power spectrum.
NOTE: Our data is actually sampled at 30e3, but as the resulting image takes too long to load we used a sampling rate x10 lower, meaning the frequency scale is also scaled.

I tried with code but the problem is i can't see the plot only. Its just blank with a figure window can you help me with this problem. Thank you in advance.

@pranavswaroopgundla What error message are you getting?

[adehad]

Send a screenshot of the command window and the figure

[BioCoderR]

@adehad

This is the error happening just take a look
the error is in ".png file"

powerspectrum.zip

and the figure is powerspectrum.zip

[adehad]

spectrogram requires a vector input, so try passing in a single row of your Data variable.

[BioCoderR]

@adehad

the error is still there I don't know what is the causing an error
can u please give me ur mail id so that I can send my files to you so it might solve the problem faster.

[adehad]

Sorry I edited my comment, the function takes in a single channel of data, e.g.
Data(1,:)

[BioCoderR]

Yah i did that too but no use. Its same blank window showing up..

Hmm, the error is saying that spect.winSize is greater than the length of your data. I notice that the DATA variable is now transposed in your workspace, so perhaps you need to pass in Data(:, 1), to select a single data channel.

[BioCoderR]

this the error I'm getting now because of the array size limit. how can I manage this?

Yes, this is a common problem if you have a long recording.
There are a few ways of managing this:

1. Use a shorter segment of your recording, in your case Data(1:1e4, 1). This would plot the spectogram from the first 10,000 samples.
2. Reduce the frequency resolution, e.g.: spect.nFFT = 2*Fs
3. Reduce the sampling frequency you are using, as I mentioned I did with my data earlier. Using x10 lower worked for us.

@adehad it worked for me and thank you can you help how to plot the power spectrum graph for certain time limits in the signals.
