Hello,
I have a question for anyone who has analyzed electrophysiological information
with power density spectra analysis.  I have recently conducted hundreds of ele
ctrophysiology experiments on the olfactory epithelium of American eels.  I rec
orded oscillatory potentials of many different chemicals.  I wish to use PDS an
alysis but would like to know how the responses should be quantitatively presen
ted.  It seems that presenting the frequencies of the responses will not make t
hem comparable to measurements made with more conventional amplitude measuremen
ts.  Should the frequencies as well as amplitudes (voltages) be presented or is
 it now common practice to only present frequency data?
I am new in this field and would appreciate any further input about PDS and con
ventional data presentation.  Thank you for your input (in advance).
