0100,0100,0100Dear list,
We have collected some EMG (1000 Hz), accelerometry (100 Hz)
and video (50 Hz) data in a recent study. We seek to investigate
the relationships between these variables in the frequency
(coherence) and time (cross-correlation) domains.
Papers which have done EMG-tremor coherence (Halliday et al.
1999; Marsden et al. 1997; Vaillancourt et al. 2000) have all
sampled their different sources of data at the same rate. While we
would have liked to do that as well, that was not possible.
Therefore we need to resample our data so to obtain the same
number of data points, and to ensure that these data points were
measured at the same point of time.
So my questions are thus:
1. Is it better to downsample the data (eg EMG from 1000 to 100
Hz) or upsample tremor from 100 to 1000 Hz?
2. We have noticed a change in the power of the resampled data in
proportion to the change in signal sampling frequency. Is this a
problem for coherence and cross-correlation analyses?
Any other comments or papers to refer to would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin Keogh.
