One feature that arouses great research interest is the capacity of plotting EMG-EEG topograph. For example, the EMG-EEG connectivity analysis

[DominiqueMakowski]

You mean MEG/EEG I think? Doesn't mne do that? And how does it relate to respiration (the topic of this issue) 😁 ?

[GanshengT]

It’s indeed Electromyography (EMG) - EEG connectivity analysis. In the case of respiration, information of respiratory muscle and EEG are recorded simultaneously. Their correlation could possibly reveal respirator mechanism😊. MNE is not oriented to do such analysis.

[DominiqueMakowski]

Mmh that's interesting, never heard of that! Are you working on this?

[GanshengT]

To be specific, I currently worked on the connectivity between EMG and EEG during hand gripping paradigm, but I equally covered this field.

[DominiqueMakowski]

That's great! Looking forward to have your input ☺️

Is the idea to extend/improve the existing breathing functions or to start from sratch?

[DominiqueMakowski]

@JohnDoenut Well there hasn't been much done on that side in NK1. We can use that as a basis, but I believe there is room for improvement!

[JanCBrammer]

For the estimation of breathing rate and breathing amplitude, I'm happy to contribute an algorithm based on this paper. It does what has previously been done by Nk1's rsp_process(): it identifies inhalation peaks and exhalation troughs which are then used to calculate statistics (summary, instantaneous) for the breathing signal. Trying to send a PR asap.

closing this as thanks to the awesome contribution of @JohnDoenut we have a strong basis for rsp ☺️
