Power spectral density
======================


```{code-cell} ipython3

import pynapple as nap
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
custom_params = {"axes.spines.right": False, "axes.spines.top": False}

Generating a signal
------------------
Let's generate a dummy signal with 2Hz and 10Hz sinusoide with white noise.



```{code-cell} ipython3
F = [2, 10]

Fs = 2000
t = np.arange(0, 200, 1/Fs)
sig = nap.Tsd(
    t=t,
    d=np.cos(t*2*np.pi*F[0])+np.cos(t*2*np.pi*F[1])+np.random.normal(0, 3, len(t)),
    time_support = nap.IntervalSet(0, 200)
    )
```

```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [hide-input]

plt.figure()
plt.plot(sig.get(0, 0.4))
plt.title("Signal")
plt.xlabel("Time (s)")
```

Computing power spectral density (PSD)
--------------------------------------

To compute a PSD of a signal, you can use the function `nap.compute_power_spectral_density`. With `norm=True`, the output of the FFT is divided by the length of the signal.


```{code-cell} ipython3
psd = nap.compute_power_spectral_density(sig, norm=True)
```

Pynapple returns a pandas DataFrame.


```{code-cell} ipython3
print(psd)
```

It is then easy to plot it.


```{code-cell} ipython3
plt.figure()
plt.plot(np.abs(psd))
plt.xlabel("Frequency (Hz)")
plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
```

Note that the output of the FFT is truncated to positive frequencies. To get positive and negative frequencies, you can set `full_range=True`.
By default, the function returns the frequencies up to the Nyquist frequency.
Let's zoom on the first 20 Hz.


```{code-cell} ipython3
plt.figure()
plt.plot(np.abs(psd))
plt.xlabel("Frequency (Hz)")
plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
plt.xlim(0, 20)
```

We find the two frequencies 2 and 10 Hz.

By default, pynapple assumes a constant sampling rate and a single epoch. For example, computing the FFT over more than 1 epoch will raise an error.


```{code-cell} ipython3
double_ep = nap.IntervalSet([0, 50], [20, 100])

try:
    nap.compute_power_spectral_density(sig, ep=double_ep)
except ValueError as e:
    print(e)
```

Computing mean PSD
------------------

It is possible to compute an average PSD over multiple epochs with the function `nap.compute_mean_power_spectral_density`.

In this case, the argument `interval_size` determines the duration of each epochs upon which the FFT is computed.
If not epochs is passed, the function will split the `time_support`.

In this case, the FFT will be computed over epochs of 10 seconds.


```{code-cell} ipython3
mean_psd = nap.compute_mean_power_spectral_density(sig, interval_size=20.0, norm=True)
```

Let's compare `mean_psd` to `psd`. In both cases, the ouput is normalized.


```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [hide-input]

plt.figure()
plt.plot(np.abs(psd), label='PSD')
plt.plot(np.abs(mean_psd), label='Mean PSD (10s)')
plt.xlabel("Frequency (Hz)")
plt.ylabel("Amplitude")
plt.legend()
plt.xlim(0, 15)
```

As we can see, `nap.compute_mean_power_spectral_density` was able to smooth out the noise.
