<div dir="ltr">Hi Michael,<div><br></div><div>Power grid fluctuations and changes in EMI from movement or other factors can cause line noise frequency and complex amplitude to vary over time. Cleanline subtracts from the data a time-domain sinusoid representing the best estimate of the deterministic line noise signal (based on a frequency-domain regression). If a single sinusoid estimate is obtained for all the data, but the line noise frequency or amplitude drifts over time this may result in suboptimal correction. For this reason, using a shorter sliding window for noise correction is generally the best approach. There are options for this in Cleanline. I usually recommend starting with a 4 sec window with 4 sec step size (no overlap), but you may want to start with 10 seconds since you've already had good results there.</div>
