Hello Nirmala,<br><br>If you know the index of the bad electrode that you want to interpret, just run the following command from the command line:<br><br>EEG = eeg_interp( EEG, [bad_electrode] );<br><br>replacing "bad_electrode" with the number(s) of the electrode(s).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">If we are going to epoch the data (step 5), why are we manually rejecting the extra noisy parts earlier (step 2).
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">Since these extra noisy portions are mostly at beginning and end of trial blocks, they will be gone away during epoching anyway.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">So, epoching the critical time window can save a fair amount of time that else we would have spent on manual inspection.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">At this point I have another question; I have read that, it is better to run ICA on continuous, non-epoched data.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">One of the problems of running ICA on epoched data is that, “the baseline correction changes relative values across channels” (S. Luck, ERP Boot
Camp Lecture Slides). But probably that is not the only reason to run ICA on continuous data because this problem can easily be overcome via removing the baseline after running ICAs.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" lang="EN-US">So I guess there should be other problems related to running ICAs on epoched data.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p>6A is not necessary if you are going to use STUDY (it will create clusters for artifacts) so don't bother to do this. 6B is recommended. Theoretically, 2nd ICA after 6B improves the quality of decomposition, but in my experience it rarely changes the result

<p>Just take a look at independent component activities as you check your channel EEG data. It is a good idea to use 'all methods' for obtaining statistical suggestions (but don't take them blindly). You may want to discard 5-10 % of data here, depending your
data quality. Improbability test is good but hopefully it is done after thresholding on channel EEG (therefore I recommend mild amplitude threshold on channel EEG before ICA, and then improbability test on IC activities).<u></u><u></u></p>

<p>Again, whether or not running the 2nd ICA depends on how much you care about data quality. DIPFIT does not care your IC activities. It only cares about scalp maps ICA generated. Therefore, epoch rejection does not affect DIPFIT performance. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>You should locate two dipoles manually when you find bilateral topographies using an interactive 'fine fit' GUI of DIPFIT. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Imali,<br>
<br>
I don't have experience with using "reject based on ICA", but the first option you pointed out (6A--using Tools>Reject components to remove the IC(s) with artifact) works. What I have typically done is first use Tools>Reject components to do that, and then
use Tools>Reject epochs (by inspection) on the cleaned data to go through and reject any epochs that contain other artifact. (In my case, I use ICA to remove the blink artifacts, but then must reject by inspection to remove artifact that's left over such as
skin potentials or EMG).<br>
<br>
Maybe some others on the list can give you some more information about the other methods, which I am not familiar with.<br>
<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">While reading through papers for my experiments, I just became curious (with some confusion) on the dipole fitting approach of the ERP data(for a specific task).

ICA based source localization(using DIPFIT plugin) I wanted to find out on what degree the two dipole fitting approaches are differing in BESA and DIPFIT with ICA.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
