Toward a dynamic topographic components model.

Möcks' topographic component model (TCM) (Möcks, J. Topographic components model for event-related potentials and some biophysical considerations. IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng., 1988a, 35: 482-484; Möcks, J. Decomposing event-related potentials: a new topographic components model. Biol. Psychol., 1988b, 26: 199-215) decomposes event-related potentials into components uniquely determined by their respective amplitude profiles across replicates, assuming a constant topography and wave shape for each component. To accommodate possible changes in the component expression across conditions, a dynamic version of TCM is investigated which further admits component modulation in time scale. Twenty test problems were synthesized, incorporating two arbitrary topographies each activated with its own arbitrary wave shape modified, across two conditions, in amplitude, onset and duration. Seventeen problems were perfectly solved, with substantial success on the remaining three, confirming that component jitter or stretching can even help component identification.
