This folder contains the codes and one sample data in the manuscript. In order to run the code, you need to install the fiedltrip toolbox (https://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/). The file called “Demo_Example.m” summarizes the pipeline for generating an example. This file calls 4 other main scripts as follows:

--- Behavior_Down_Analysis.m (Calculate behavior in the down BCI conditon)

--- Sensor_Spectral_Analysis.m (Calculate Spectral power at the sensor level)

--- Source_Power_Analysis.m (Calculate 9-15 Hz alpha activity source with DICS)

--- Source_Connectivity_Analysis.m (Calculate 9-15 Hz alpha source connectivity with power orthoganaion correation)
