Hi Rik, Both things are available in Fieldtrip which is included in SPM8.

If you do: D = spm_eeg_load; data = D.ftraw; you'll get data in Fieldtrip format that you can use as an input to that function. For other settings see the headers of freqanalysis and freqanalysis_mtmfft that you can find in /external/fieldtrip/private. Since in SPM there is little support for data without time dimension (I'm not sure how well @meeg will handle a TF dataset with a single time point, but you can try) if you want to generate scalp x frequency images you might need to write your own code for that. > 2.

The same idea as above. You can then convert the output back to SPM dataset using spm_eeg_ft2spm.
