# Basic :func:`~mne.viz.plot_topomap` options
# -------------------------------------------
#
# We plot evoked topographies using :func:`mne.Evoked.plot_topomap`. The first
# argument, ``times`` allows to specify time instants (in seconds!) for which
# topographies will be shown. We select timepoints from 50 to 150 ms with a
# step of 20ms and plot magnetometer data:
times = np.arange(0.05, 0.151, 0.02)
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="mag")
# %%
# If times is set to None at most 10 regularly spaced topographies will be
# shown:
evoked.plot_topomap(ch_type="mag")
# %%
# We can use ``nrows`` and ``ncols`` parameter to create multiline plots
# with more timepoints.
all_times = np.arange(-0.2, 0.5, 0.03)
evoked.plot_topomap(all_times, ch_type="mag", ncols=8, nrows="auto")
# %%
# Instead of showing topographies at specific time points we can compute
# averages of 50 ms bins centered on these time points to reduce the noise in
# the topographies:
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="mag", average=0.05)
# %%
# We can plot gradiometer data (plots the RMS for each pair of gradiometers)
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="grad")
# %%
# Additional :func:`~mne.viz.plot_topomap` options
# ------------------------------------------------
#
# We can also use a range of various :func:`mne.viz.plot_topomap` arguments
# that control how the topography is drawn. For example:
#
# * ``cmap`` - to specify the color map
# * ``res`` - to control the resolution of the topographies (lower resolution
# means faster plotting)
# * ``contours`` to define how many contour lines should be plotted
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="mag", cmap="Spectral_r", res=32, contours=4)
# %%
# If you look at the edges of the head circle of a single topomap you'll see
# the effect of extrapolation. There are three extrapolation modes:
#
# - ``extrapolate='local'`` extrapolates only to points close to the sensors.
# - ``extrapolate='head'`` extrapolates out to the head circle.
# - ``extrapolate='box'`` extrapolates to a large box stretching beyond the
# head circle.
#
# The default value ``extrapolate='auto'`` will use ``'local'`` for MEG sensors
# and ``'head'`` otherwise. Here we show each option:
extrapolations = ["local", "head", "box"]
fig, axes = plt.subplots(figsize=(7.5, 4.5), nrows=2, ncols=3, layout="constrained")
# Here we look at EEG channels, and use a custom head sphere to get all the
# sensors to be well within the drawn head surface
for axes_row, ch_type in zip(axes, ("mag", "eeg")):
for ax, extr in zip(axes_row, extrapolations):
evoked.plot_topomap(
0.1,
ch_type=ch_type,
size=2,
extrapolate=extr,
axes=ax,
show=False,
colorbar=False,
sphere=(0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.09),
)
ax.set_title(f"{ch_type.upper()} {extr}", fontsize=14)
# %%
# More advanced usage
# -------------------
#
# Now we plot magnetometer data as topomap at a single time point: 100 ms
# post-stimulus, add channel labels, title and adjust plot margins:
fig = evoked.plot_topomap(
0.1, ch_type="mag", show_names=True, colorbar=False, size=6, res=128
)
fig.suptitle("Auditory response")
# %%
# We can also highlight specific channels by adding a mask, to e.g. mark
# channels exceeding a threshold at a given time:
# Define a threshold and create the mask
mask = evoked.data > 1e-13
# Select times and plot
times = (0.09, 0.1, 0.11)
mask_params = dict(markersize=10, markerfacecolor="y")
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="mag", mask=mask, mask_params=mask_params)
# %%
# Or by manually picking the channels to highlight at different times:
times = (0.09, 0.1, 0.11)
_times = ((np.abs(evoked.times - t)).argmin() for t in times)
significant_channels = [
("MEG 0231", "MEG 1611", "MEG 1621", "MEG 1631", "MEG 1811"),
("MEG 2411", "MEG 2421"),
("MEG 1621"),
]
_channels = [np.isin(evoked.ch_names, ch) for ch in significant_channels]
mask = np.zeros(evoked.data.shape, dtype="bool")
for _chs, _time in zip(_channels, _times):
mask[_chs, _time] = True
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="mag", mask=mask, mask_params=mask_params)
# %%
# Interpolating topomaps
# ----------------------
# We can also look at the effects of interpolating our data. Perhaps, we
# might have data per channel such as the impedance of each electrode that
# we don't want interpolated, or we just want to visualize the data without
# interpolation as a sanity check. We can use ``image_interp='nearest'`` to
# prevent any interpolation or ``image_interp='linear'`` to do a linear
# interpolation instead of the default cubic interpolation.
# %%
# The default cubic interpolation is the smoothest and is great for
# publications.
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="eeg", image_interp="cubic")
# %%
# The linear interpolation might be helpful in some cases.
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="eeg", image_interp="linear")
# %%
# The nearest (Voronoi, no interpolation) interpolation is especially helpful
# for debugging and seeing the values assigned to the topomap unaltered.
evoked.plot_topomap(times, ch_type="eeg", image_interp="nearest", contours=0)
# %%
# Animating the topomap
# ---------------------
#
# Instead of using a still image we can plot magnetometer data as an animation,
# which animates properly only in matplotlib interactive mode.
# sphinx_gallery_thumbnail_number = 9
times = np.arange(0.05, 0.151, 0.01)
fig, anim = evoked.animate_topomap(times=times, ch_type="mag", frame_rate=2, blit=False)
