How can i plot a multiple EEG signal channels ?
Show older comments

hello sirs, how can we plot a picture has multiple EEG signal channels like the picture above. My data have sampling frequency fs= 500, recordDuration= 1s, 21 channels and 21 record numbers. Can you give me an example code ? Thanks !

If you dont want to implement it, just use EEGLAB (which can read in numerous different data types, if I remember correctly, you can also use it to change your data type to .mat).
If you want to implement it with the slider and whatnot, check out MATLAB GUI and its functions (you will probably need uifigure, uipanel, uiaxes, uislider).
To change the names on the y-axis, use yticks and yticklabels function. (Note that if your data is really large and you read it all in, the GUI might be slow and/or crash, EDIT: but this is not the case for you)
Alternatively stackedplot, you can use subtightplot. Or if you dont mind if two channels possibly overlap, than add different values to the different channels.
EDIT: I realized that your data is only one second long, so you probably dont need GUI with its slider, but the rest of my answer is relevant.

%dat= your data with size (21,500)
timemax=1;%i.e. one sec
datamax=timemax*Freq;
t=(0:datamax)./Freq;
subtight = @(m,n,p) subtightplot (m, n, p, [0.0 0.05], [0.1 0.01], [0.1 0.01]);
figure;
for k=1:size(dat,1)
subtight(size(dat,1),1,k)
plot(t(1:timemax*Freq),dat(k,1:timemax*Freq));
ylabel(['CH',num2str(k)],'FontSize',5,'FontWeight','bold','Color','b');%change this with yticks,yticklabels if you dontwant to plot
%all channels or you dont have all channels or they are in not ascending order
yticks([]);
if k~=size(dat,1) %to only have x-ticks for the last
xticks([]);
end
end
The picture looks somewhat different from what you posted since you want to plot only one second
