SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns EEG epoch data plus trial event/behavior logs into reproducible behavioral summaries and tests that connect reaction time and accuracy to trial-level EEG features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RT/accuracy descriptive statistics with guardrailed cleaning: computes RT distributions (with IQR-based outlier removal), condition-wise summaries, and accuracy metrics (including d-prime and criterion, plus optional IES).
  • Speed–accuracy tradeoff and performance dynamics: supports conditional accuracy and delta-style analyses to describe how performance changes across RT quantiles.
  • EEG-behavior linking with trial-level modeling: runs recommended single-trial regression (predictor = ROI mean amplitude in a time window; outcome = RT or accuracy) and offers median-split or across-subject correlation as alternatives.
  • Use when: you need behavioral analysis (RT/accuracy), want to test whether an EEG effect predicts RT/accuracy (e.g., “does N2 predict RT”), or need brain–behavior correlation/regression integrated into your pipeline.

Quick Start

Use the eeg-behavior skill for your study directory by providing your analysis context, then request RT/accuracy measures and an EEG-behavior linking method such as regression.

FAQPage Schema
How do I link single-trial EEG amplitude to reaction time in my experiment data?▼

To link single-trial EEG to reaction time, you can use single-trial regression with ROI mean amplitude as the predictor and RT as the outcome. This requires epoched EEG data and a behavioral log with trial-wise RT aligned to trial metadata.

What is the best way to compute reaction time and accuracy summaries with outlier removal for EEG studies?▼

The best way to compute reaction time and accuracy summaries is using IQR-based outlier removal for RT distributions, alongside condition-wise summaries and accuracy metrics like d-prime. This produces guardrailed descriptive statistics and behavior-stage JSON outputs.

Can I test whether an EEG effect like N2 amplitude predicts behavioral accuracy?▼

Yes, you can test if an EEG effect predicts behavioral accuracy using single-trial regression, median-split, or across-subject correlation. The EEG predictor is the ROI mean amplitude, and the outcome is trial-level accuracy or RT.

What data formats and files do I need to align behavioral logs with EEG epochs for trial-level modeling?▼

You need epoched data in the epoch-stage/ directory, a DATASET_BRIEF.md for marker-to-condition mapping, and an ANALYSIS_PLAN.md for declared behavioral claims. Additionally, behavioral sources must contain trial-wise RT, response, and correctness data.

How do I analyze the speed-accuracy tradeoff across different reaction time quantiles?▼

To analyze the speed-accuracy tradeoff, you can use conditional accuracy and delta-style analyses. These methods describe how performance changes across RT quantiles, providing insights into performance dynamics within your EEG experiment data.

Are there alternatives to single-trial regression for brain-behavior correlation in EEG experiments?▼

Alternatives to single-trial regression for brain-behavior correlation include median-split analysis and across-subject correlation. These methods also link trial-level EEG predictors to behavioral outcomes like RT or accuracy.
