Inter Subject Correlation in EEG

This is matlab code to compute intersubject correlation (ISC) in EEG using correlated component analysis,
as described in the references below (description closest to the present code is in Cohen and Parra, 2016).

<isceeg.m> -- EEG specific code, keeping clutter to a minimum.

Download the follwing zip file, uncompress and execute isceeg in matlab: isc.zip (429 MB)

These are the specific files that are included in this zip file:

<topoplot.m> -- stand-alone version of EEGlab's popular display function (does not require EEGlab).
<BioSemi64.loc> -- BioSemi location file for topoplot
<notBoxPlot.m> -- stand-alone version of Rob Campbell's scatter plot (does not require suplementary functions)
EEGVolume.mat -- Samantha Cohen's EEG data with 64 electrodes from 18 subjects while watching this video. (Here's a list of all stimuli).

Plus some other useful code:

<preprocessEEG%5FRPCA.m> -- EEG preprocessing routine utilizing robust PCA (RPCA).
<multiStimISC.m> -- ISC routine that can be run on multiple stimuli simultaneously
Channel selection GUI -- Really nice tool select bad channels, which is an important input to the ISC code if you want nice results.

Stimuli:

Hereare all of the audiovisual (AV), audiovisual scrambled (AVsc), and audio only (A Only) videos used in Cohen and Parra (2016)
(The visual only (V Only) stimuli from this paper are identical to the audiovisual stimuli except they are played silently.)

Faster code:
More efficient code to perform Correlated Component Analysis (the core of the analysis method we have used to measures ISC in EEG) is now available here:

Correlated Component Analysis code
