“…Different epoch lengths and number of epochs are currently used in resting state functional connectivity studies, ranging from one second (Knyazeva et al , 2010, Chu et al , 2012) to a few minutes (Tahaei et al , 2012) or even a day (Kuhnert et al , 2010) for epoch length; and from one epoch (Ahmadlou et al , 2011) to over 100 epochs containing the entire EEG recording (Knyazeva et al , 2010). Previous studies have investigated epoch length in relation to connectivity stability (David et al , 2004, Honey et al , 2007, Chu et al , 2012 and showed that the length of epochs to obtain stable connectivity measures is highly dependent on the type of connectivity measure.…”
