MEPFeatX

MEPFeatX automates comprehensive motor-evoked potential (MEP) feature extraction across diverse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) stimulation paradigms.

Key Features:

• Automated MEP Feature Extraction: Extracts MEP features automatically to reduce time consumption and human error associated with manual processing of large datasets.
• Comprehensive Feature Set: Captures frequently neglected features including MEP polyphasia and MEP duration alongside standard measures.
• Multi-Paradigm Support: Supports a wide range of TMS stimulation paradigms with primed templates for specific paradigms.
• Cross-Platform Analysis: Core functionality implemented in MATLAB with additional analysis coded in R language.
• Visual Outputs: Generates visuals of MEP features to facilitate analysis interpretation.

Scientific Applications:

• Neuronal Excitability Assessment: Supports clinical diagnostics related to motor function through quantitative MEP analysis.
• Neuroscience Research: Enables reliable MEP analysis for studies investigating corticospinal excitability and motor system physiology.

Methodology:

MEPFeatX is implemented as a MATLAB package with verified algorithms for automated feature extraction; additional analysis components are coded in R language.
