<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have been following the EEGLAB discussion list for a few weeks now and have been working through most of the tutorials and wiki pages but I am still a newbie to MATLAB, EEGLAB and analysing EEG signals in general. Hence, I have basic,
newbie questions which I hope you can help me with.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt;text-indent:-36.0pt;text-autospace:none">
I am trying to follow the analysis steps that are outlined in this paper: <span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif"">
Petersen, T.H., M. Willerslev-Olsen, B.A. Conway, and J.B. Nielsen, <i>The motor cortex drives the muscles during walking in human subjects.</i> The Journal of physiology, 2012.

<p class="MsoNormal">At the moment I am looking at a continuous dataset that contains 6 EEG and 6 EMG channels and that was recorded during a sustained muscle contraction of the leg. Eventually I also want to look at gait data but I am not there yet.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As outlined in the paper, I am trying to perform ICA (runica) on the EEG channels. After I ran the ICA, I want to remove unwanted components (in the gui) via Tools->reject data using ICA-> reject components by map. However, since I only
recorded 6 channels (C3, Cz, C4, F3, Fz, F4) the head maps I receive only cover the region between the 6 electrodes but not the whole head. Also, when clicking on one component the top right panel that is supposed to show the activity of the component is empty<span style="color:#1F497D">.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here is a link to 2 images: <span style="color:#1F497D"><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t5b8kmb9b9ce93e/AAC5VyeSEQbob0PTSiSZ61Ita">https://www.dropbox.com/sh/t5b8kmb9b9ce93e/AAC5VyeSEQbob0PTSiSZ61Ita</a>
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This does not provide sufficient information to be able to judge whether to keep or to discard a component.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What can I do to fix the problem? Is there another/better/more appropriate way to remove artefacts from my data than this approach? Or is the only way recording more channels (32+?) so that I can plot sufficient head maps?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently I use MATLAB R2012a and EEGLAB v10.2.5.8b.<o:p></o:p></p>
