Is Moelle2011 the right citation?

Open skjerns opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Currently, the Moelle2011 spindle detection method is referenced with Moelle, M. et al. J. Neurosci. 22(24), 10941-7 (2002).. There is indeed a publication from Moelle et al. from 2011 available as well, however, it distinguishes between fast and slow spindles, whereas the algorithm implemented (as far as I can see it) does not implement this currently, but more closely resembles the original method of Moelle from 2002.

Would it be more appropriate to rename the method to "Moelle2002" instead? I'm not sure if I'm missing things, just want to make sure I'm referencing the right methods paper in our publication.

Thanks for pointing out this inconsistency in our documentation: we should have referenced Moelle et al. 2011 in addition to Moelle et al. 2002. The latter is the original method, but the former is the improved method that we actually implemented, the main difference being an additional smoothing step after creating the RMS signal. So you should probably reference the more recent paper. We will make sure to add Moelle et al. 2011 to the documentation reference list.
