Each source and its back projection into the channel space at any time point have individual phase value; however, the EEG phase value is a “summation” of all the phase values from each individual sources ( in other words, the EEG phase value at any given channel is the summation of phase values of each source/component reconstructed signal at that given channel). So, if some sources are removed because of artifact removing procedure then the summation of the phase values of the remainder sources may not be matched to the initial un-cleaned EEG. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Also, each source has a specific IC map ( spatial filter) so the effect of that source is distributed/propagated throughout all channels. The magnitude of the effect at any channel is proportional to the IC map value at that channel ( in EEGLAB: if the IC Map is dark red/blue, its effect is high; the greenish color means the effect is low) . So, by removing a source which may correspond to eye blink , the effect of that source/component to other channels (other than ‘Fz’, for example) will be also eliminated. As a result the component rejection procedure MAY change the phase value/content at any given channel. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Best<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Iman <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>============================================<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif";color:#7030A0'>Iman M.Rezazadeh, Ph.D. , M.Sc., B.Sc.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>760 Westwood Plaza, Ste 47-448</span><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Los Angeles, CA 90095<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/iman-m-rezazadeh/10/859/840/"><span style='color:#0563C1'>http://www.linkedin.com/pub/iman-m-rezazadeh/10/859/840/</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a name="_MailEndCompose"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></a></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> eeglablist-bounces@sccn.ucsd.edu [mailto:eeglablist-bounces@sccn.ucsd.edu] <b>On Behalf Of </b>otte georges<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, September 18, 2014 9:26 AM<br><b>To:</b> mmiyakoshi@ucsd.edu<br><b>Cc:</b> eeglablist@sccn.ucsd.edu<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Eeglablist] ICA and signal phase content<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=NL-BE style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Dear Makoto<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=NL-BE style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Thank You very much for the quick reply. I carefully checked the material You indicated in the link to the 2013 workshop (quite extensive but also very interesting material) but could not find much specfic on the phase content (imaginary part) of the reconstructed EEG signals. In your mail You wrote to me “of course it will change phase”. Is that “of course” because of a regression process in reconstructing the time points from the remaining components (after the artefact components have been removed) or is there another reason ?
