Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help that is displayed in Matlab when you type “help ft_networkanalysis”.
FT_NETWORKANALYSIS computes various network graph measures from between-channel or between source-level EEG/MEG signals. This function acts as a wrapper aroun the network metrics implemented in the brain connectivity toolbox developed by Olaf Sporns and colleagues. Use as stat = ft_networkanalysis(cfg, data) where the first input argument is a configuration structure (see below) and the second argument is the output of FT_CONNECTIVITYANALYSIS. At present the input data should be channel-level data with dimord 'chan_chan(_freq)(_time)' or source data with dimord 'pos_pos(_freq)(_time)'. The configuration structure has to contain cfg.method = string, specifying the graph measure that will be computed. See below for a list of supported measures. cfg.parameter = string specifying the bivariate parameter in the data for which the graph measure will be computed. Supported methods are: assortatitivity, betweenness, clustering_coef, degrees To facilitate data-handling and distributed computing with the peer-to-peer module, this function has the following options: cfg.inputfile = ... cfg.outputfile = ... If you specify one of these (or both) the input data will be read from a *.mat file on disk and/or the output data will be written to a *.mat file. These mat files should contain only a single variable, corresponding with the input/output structure. See also FT_CONNECTIVITYANALYSIS, FT_CONNECTIVITYPLOT
