FT_DATATYPE_COMP describes the FieldTrip MATLAB structure for comp data The comp data structure represents time-series channel-level data that has been decomposed or unmixed from the channel level into its components or "blind sources", for example using ICA (independent component analysis) or PCA. This data structure is usually generated with the FT_COMPONENTANALYSIS function. An example of a comp data structure with 100 components that resulted from a 151-channel MEG recording is shown here: time: {1x10 cell} trial: {1x10 cell} unmixing: [100x151 double] topo: [151x100 double] topolabel: {151x1 cell} label: {100x1 cell} fsample: 300 cfg: [1x1 struct] The only difference to the raw data structure is that the comp structure contains the additional fields topo and topolabel. See FT_DATATYPE_RAW for further details. Required fields: - time, trial, label, topo, unmixing Optional fields: - sampleinfo, trialinfo, grad, elec, hdr, cfg Deprecated fields: - fsample Obsoleted fields: - offset Revision history: (2011/latest) The unmixing matrix has been added to the component data structure. (2003) The initial version was defined See also FT_DATATYPE, FT_DATATYPE_COMP, FT_DATATYPE_DIP, FT_DATATYPE_FREQ, FT_DATATYPE_MVAR, FT_DATATYPE_RAW, FT_DATATYPE_SOURCE, FT_DATATYPE_SPIKE, FT_DATATYPE_TIMELOCK, FT_DATATYPE_VOLUME
