[Mne_analysis] n_fft option for tfr_array_stockwell

[Paul Fishback]

        External Email - Use Caution        

Hello,

I'm interested in computing the Stockwell Transform of a simple univariate
time series. Because I already use MNE, I thought I'd perform this task
with the aid of the
tfr_array_stockwell command. However, I'm having a problem changing the
window length, n_fft.

As a simple "toy example," here's a chirp signal, where the frequency
decreases linearly from 12.5 to 2.5 Hz over a 10 second period:

from scipy.signal import chirp
from mne.time_frequency import tfr_array_stockwell

t = np.linspace(0, 10, 5001)
w = chirp(t, f0=12.5, f1=2.5, t1=10, method='linear')
y = np.expand_dims(w, axis=[0,1])  # Add dimensions to signal in order to
make a valid input for tfr_array_stockwell

fmin = 0
fmax = 25
Fs = int(np.ceil(Nt/time_length))
st_power, itc, freqs=tfr_array_stockwell(y,sfreq=Fs,fmin=fmin,fmax=fmax)

This works fine and the plotted results look great, but I do receive a
warning message indicating zero padding is being used. This is because the
signal length (5001)
is less than the default n_fft, which is 8192 in my case.   (Since
2^(12)=4096 < 5001 < 2^(13)=8192 )

However, if I change the default n_fft to something else, e.g. insert
n_fft=500 above, I still receive the same warning message.

Perhaps I'm missing something simple?

Thanks
