[Eeglablist] Large dataset (N=50) with clusters <50% of study population. Do I include?

[Salminen,Jacob S]

Hello,

I'm having an issue, if you could call it that, where I have clusters that have <50% of my total sample (N=50) that I'd like to include in my paper's discussion.

1) I was wondering, where does the rationalization for only including clusters with >50% of participants come from?
2) Given my large sample size, how might I be able to convince a reviewer that, although the cluster has a number of IC's <50% of my total sample, the number (e.g., 20) is still larger than most previous MoBI EEG ICA studies?
3) If (2) isn't possible, why?

Thank you for your consideration,

Jacob Salminen
