Dear Johannes,

You can try downsampling your data and then the default filter order might
work. In general I don't think the filter order matters too much for this
particular application because you don't necessarily need a sharp cutoff so
as long as it works it should be fine.

Dear DCM-experts,

I'm trying to use DCM to model phase-coupling. In the beta band it seems to
work. Unfortunately in lower bands I get the error:
"Calculated filter coefficients have poles on or outside the unit circle
and will not be stable. Try a higher cutoff frequency or a different
type/order of filter."

I changed the filter order from 5 to 4 now I'm able to calculate
phase-coupling in the alpha-band when I change it to 3 I'm able to go down
to 2Hz.
Do I still get reasonable results by cahnging the filter order?
Should I use the same order for all frequency-bands I'm going to analyse or
adapt it to the highest possible filter order per frequency-band?

Thanks!
Johannes
