cntdown
changes (decreases) the sampling rate of .cnt-files. This
allows to unify data which were recorded at different sampling rates. Another
useful application is just to reduce the amount of stored data (and thus all
evaluation runtimes). For example, a 1000Hz EEG/MEG could be downsampled to
250Hz or slower if you look for (10..20)Hz components only.There are three algorithms implemented:
cntdown
run should be one of the first steps in an evaluation. One
can avoid a lot of trouble with invalid or inaccurate control data files
(.trg, .rej) this way...Consider also Shannon's theorem, filtering and other signal processing fundamentals.
