<div dir="ltr">Dear Dr. Gonzales,<div><br></div><div>I suppose you mean you compare phases between channels and ICs. It's not shift that makes difference between scalp channel ICs and EEGs. Let me explain what it is. Let's say we have only 2 channels and 2 ICs. The relation of scalp channel EEG and ICs are like this:</div>



<div><br></div><div>Channel 1 = 0.3 X IC1 + 0.7 X IC2</div><div>Channel 2 = 0.7 x  IC1 + 0.3 x IC2</div><div><br></div><div>Here I determined 0.3 and 0.7 arbitrarily but actually these are determined by ICA. Anyway, when you compare Channel 1 with IC1 in the above example, they are dissimilar to each other NOT because of phase shift (unless IC1 and IC2 are similar, which is hard to imagine since they are supposed to be temporally independent).</div>



<div><br></div><div>If the decomposition is like</div><div><br></div><div><div>Channel 1 = 0.99999 X IC1 + 0.00001 X IC2</div><div>Channel 2 = 0.00001 x  IC1 + 0.99999 x IC2</div></div><div>
<br>
</div><div>Then your Channel 1 and IC1 should be very similar.</div><div><br></div><div>Makoto</div><div><br></div></div><div><br><br><div>2013/4/3 karlo gonzales <span dir="ltr"><<a rel="nofollow" href="mailto:thats_karlo@yahoo.com" target="_blank">thats_karlo@yahoo.com</a>></span><br>
