[Eeglablist] fMRI artifact removal

[Marcel Bastiaansen]

Dear Yuko,

I have no experience with the fMRIb tool, but:

It is my experience that everything below 1 KHz is way too low to 
adequately sample the gradient artefacts produced by the EPI sequence.
This will result in a shape of the gradient artefact that varies from 
volume to volume. This makes it impossible to compute anaverage gradient 
artefact for the subtraction.

You should sample at 5 KHz or higher to get rid of this problem.

Kindly,
Marcel Bastiaansen
