reshape_events {EMC2} | R Documentation |
Reshape events data for fMRI analysis
Description
This function reshapes event data into a format suitable for fMRI analysis by converting specified event_types into separate event types with appropriate modulation values.
Usage
reshape_events(events, event_types, duration = 0.001, modulation = NULL)
Arguments
events |
A data frame containing event information with required columns 'subjects', 'run', and 'onset' |
event_types |
A character vector of column names in the events data frame to be treated as event_types |
duration |
Either a single numeric value (applied to all event_types), a list with named elements corresponding to event_types, or a function that takes the events data frame and returns durations |
modulation |
Either a list with named elements corresponding to event_types, or a function that takes the events data frame and returns durations |
Value
A data frame with columns 'subjects', 'onset', 'run', 'modulation', 'duration', and 'event_type'
Examples
# Create a simple events data frame
events <- data.frame(
subjects = rep(1, 10),
run = rep(1, 10),
onset = seq(0, 90, by = 10),
condition = rep(c("A", "B"), 5),
rt = runif(10, 0.5, 1.5),
accuracy = sample(0:1, 10, replace = TRUE)
)
# Reshape with default duration
reshaped1 <- reshape_events(events, event_types = c("condition", "accuracy"))
# Reshape with custom duration for each event_type
reshaped2 <- reshape_events(events,
event_types = c("condition", "accuracy", "rt"),
duration = list(condition = 0.5,
accuracy = 0.2,
rt = function(x) x$rt))
