Scott - <br><br>In simple cases (e.g., eye movements from screen center to screen radius in all directions) ICA will typically find 2 component processes coding orthogonal directions of movement (i.e., forming an orthogonal basis for a two-dimensional space of movements). These need not be horizontal and vertical directions however (though they are in situations where eve movements are predominantly in these directions). In more complex cases (eye movements during global image search), the decomposition of eye movement EOG by ICA might be more complex. The general procedure would be to find the subspace of such components (by their scalp maps and time courses), then compute a best-fitting mapping of this IC subspace (values of all the subspace ICs at a given instant) with known eye movement directions (e.g., results of an initial calibration procedure performed during the experiment, or known/assumed eye movement directions time locked to particular exp. events). Most simply, this could use multi-dimensional linear regression. <br>
<br>For max possible accruacy, more extensive calibration data and nonlinear regression methods might be needed -- IF the subject's head position re the screen is fixed (e.g. by a chinrest). If not, then the position and orientation of the head must also be tracked and this info incorporated into the movement direction algorithm. We are now doing this for mobile head-worn eye tracking, but don't have the method completed yet.<br>

Hello,<div> We have a set of EOG data extracted from a CTF MEG scanner. We are hoping to isolate the horizontal direction of saccades and their timing. I am very new to EEGlab and to EEG type data in general. I am actually not sure even where to begin. I have found some criteria in literature but not sure how to implement it. I also suspect I may need to use ICA, but as of yet I have not been able to determine how to achieve our goal using ICA.</div>
