Flexible Extent RAP/TRAP-MUSIC

Solver ID: FLEX-MUSIC

Usage

from invert import Solver

# fwd = ...    (mne.Forward object)
# evoked = ... (mne.Evoked object)

solver = Solver("FLEX-MUSIC")
solver.make_inverse_operator(fwd)
stc = solver.apply_inverse_operator(evoked)
stc.plot()

Overview

Recursive MUSIC variant with flexible extent estimation. Iteratively selects sources (RAP/TRAP-MUSIC) while allowing spatially extended patches via flexible-order smoothing.
