And actually it does work! Actually, if people have not been doing this I'm not sure what kind of results they are getting since the two main issues under discussion: 1) that 1 Hz high-pass filtering on ERP data can seriously distort the ERP; and 2) that ICA will not work so well for data that has not been 1 Hz high-passed filtered, are indeed quite uncontroversial. David's suggestion (hi David!), pretty much does something similar but detrending via DC offsetting. <br>
<br>There are of course BSS algorithms that work in the frequency domain (e.g., complex infomax, or better Independent Vector Analysis (IVA)), that could be used to study activity at specific frequency bands, including the slow oscillation (<1 Hz), but that's an overkill, and for simple ERP analysis just running the ICA on the 1 Hz data, and applying the decomposition to the 0.1 Hz data is much more practical and it's what I would recommend, that is, if you want to bother doing ICA analysis at all.<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi Sara. Unless you care about frequencies per se, epoching and baseline-correcting the data won't be a problem. From a time-domain perspective, this won't change anything.<div>
<br></div><div>BTW, someone else suggested using the 1-Hz high-pass cutoff, performing ICA, and then applying the component coefficients to the unfiltered data. That sounds like a great suggestion, although I don't know if there is a technical reason why it wouldn't work. Does anyone out there know if there would be a problem with this?</div>

But following David Groppe's suggestion would mean to reduce activity at different frequency all across the spectrum, wihtout exactly knowing which frequencies I am reducing, am I right? If I want to look at the psd as well as at the erps, would this analysis just be correct? I am always concerned about applying data modification that I cannot fully control..if you know what I mean...<br>

Hello,<br>I would like just a suggestion about some data cleaning/analysis I am doing. I<br>am doing an ERP analysis and I want to clean my data first with the ICA. In<br>theory, though, I should not use an high-pass cutoff higher than 0.1 Hz to not<br>
reduce the erp amplitude. On the other side the ICA does not work well if the<br>high-pass cutoff is lower than 0.5 Hz...what is then the best method to apply?<br>Has anybody tested how robust the ica is with a 0.1Hz filter?<br>
I have also another question: I am doing the analysis on 94 electrodes<br>referenced to Fz. I planned to average reference the data but actually there is<br>quite a large spread of noise on all the electrodes with this method (muscular<br>
artefacts for example from the temporal electrodes). But actually almost all<br>the papers are using the average reference so I was surprised, am I the only<br>one having this problem of noise? Would not be better just to keep the Fz<br>
reference and then perhaps to average the erps for every different cortical<br>area and do the analysis on these averaged erps?<br><br>Thank you very much<br><br>Best wishes<br><br>Sara Graziadio<br>Research Associate<br>
