pulse2percept.utils.convolution.conv(data, kernel, mode='full', method='fft')

Convoles data with a kernel using either FFT or sparse convolution

This function convolves data with a kernel, relying either on the fast Fourier transform (FFT) or a sparse convolution function.

Parameters:

• data (array_like) – First input, typically the data array

• kernel (array_like) – Second input, typically the kernel

• mode (str {'full', 'valid', 'same'}, optional, default: 'full') –

  A string indicating the size of the output:

  • full:

    The output is the full discrete linear convolution of the inputs.

  • valid:

    The output consists only of those elements that do not rely on zero-padding.

  • same:

    The output is the same size as data, centered with respect to the ‘full’ output.

• method (str {'fft', 'sparse'}, optional, default: 'fft') –

  A string indicating the convolution method:

  • fft:

    Use the fast Fourier transform (FFT).

  • sparse:

    Use the sparse convolution.
