[Eeglablist] problem getting ICA to run properly on data files

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Emily,

I can think of multiple reasons, such as severe rank reduction, huge
artifacts, continuous zeros, etc etc... to diagnose it I need to ask you to
send me a sample data to reproduce the problem. Are you willing to do it?
