Hi Alan, <div><br></div><div>I assume you are using boisemi like system. What you can do is first include a left mastoid electrode during recording (which is less likely to be influenced by the cortical eeg component you are interested in) and then when you import the file into eeglab choose this electrode as a reference. Then in eeglab EEG.data take out all the other electrode rows (which you are not using; pop_channel function I think). then you can re-reference anything to anything else again.<br>
<br></div><div>I recently read a paper which might be useful to take a look.</div><div><a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16214404">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16214404</a></div><div><br></div><div>Baris</div>

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" style="font:inherit"><div>Hi experts,<br><br>I am running a pilot experiment in which I only use 16 electrodes of a 64-channel cap. There is not any reference electrode on the cap, so I have to re-reference in EEGLAB. Should I just re-reference to the average of the 16 electrodes? Will this generate any problems on the result? After all, the 16 electrodes are mainly at the posterior of the head. And the paper that previously is suggested, Spherical Splines and Average Referencing in ScalpElectroencephalography, mentioned that 19 electrodes are too few. So I guess 16 should be even worse...But if I don't re-reference to the average, would that leads to other problem? Thanks!</div>
