Term

URI (NEMO)

Definition

Digital filter transformation

NEMO_7669000

Offline removal of signal above or below a certain frequency level

Data cleaning transformation

NEMO_4273000

Offline removal of any signal that is not of interest to the researcher

ERP event (for averaging)

NEMO_6783000

The role ofan event (e.g., stimulus onset)that is used forEEG averaging

ERP epoch length

NEMO_3620000

The durationof an ERP, where the time of the event is designated as time zero.

ERP baseline length

NEMO_6232000

The durationof ERP baseline (by default, the end of the baseline is the onset of the ERP)

Offline reference

NEMO_0000321

Offline schema used for re-reference

  1. 1 An alternative to the use of a controlled vocabulary is to discover mappings between data annotations [19,20]. However, this process is nontrivial, and its success depends on the nature and amount of variability in the data.
