Description
Apply one supplied linear research-channel reference term without choosing a montage.
Neurophysiological research records use sample coordinates, event clocks, epoch boundaries, references, signal amplitudes, and spectral bins. Timing conversions and support shares depend on rate, origin, exclusion, and boundary policies. Arithmetic on supplied values is separate from signal detection, validated acquisition, or neurological interpretation.
Apply one supplied linear research-channel reference term without choosing a montage.
When to use this tool
Use Neural Channel Reference Weight when you need this research signal, sample, event, epoch, reference, or spectral component from supplied data.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter channelValue, referenceValue, referenceWeight. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read referencedValue, referenceContribution. Use the output convention below.
Return referenceContribution=referenceWeight*referenceValue and referencedValue=channelValue-referenceContribution.1

| referenceWeight | Reference Weight | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| referencedValue | Referenced Value | Required. Finite number. |
| referenceContribution | Reference Contribution | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Signals need one unit and referenceWeight is an unrestricted supplied numeric factor. This is one arithmetic rereferencing term, not an inferred common signal, validated montage, noise removal guarantee, or clinical interpretation.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use calibrated acquisition and the intended signal-analysis protocol for a complete assessment. Verify sample rate, coordinate origin, clock offsets, reference configuration, filtering assumptions, and observation support.
