[Eeglablist] binica old-Win Verison

[Jason Palmer]

Hi Johannes,

 

Binica is fine if it is working for what you are doing. It uses the Extended
Infomax algorithm, which, given reasonable preprocessing, produces results
very similar to other ICA algorithms (see Delorme et al, PLoS One, 2012 for
comparisons). So if you are successfully processing and exploiting
information in ICs derived from binica, then it may be perfectly advisable.
Differences in algorithms usuallly come down to slight differences in
(relatively high) SNRs of extracted signals. So it is like listening to a
lecture recorded with a good tape recorder vs high quality microphone
digital recording-if you only want to know what the lecturer said, then
either is sufficient, but if you are interested in small amplitude signals
like students shuffling papers or cell phones ringing, or very subtle vocal
inflections of the speake,r then higher quality recording may be advisable.

 

Best,

Jason

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding the "old" Windows-binica Version which I use for
IC decomposition.

Is it inadvisable to use this version?

 

Best Thanks, Johannes
