Dear Makoto,<br>
if you are using non parametric directionality methods (i.e. cross-correlation) you can filter as you want, just use filtfilt and eeglab uses filtfilt.<br>
If you are using parametric methos (i.e. Granger with SIFT) than is better don't filter and use just cleanline for 50 Hz (or 60Hz in USA) and a very broadband low pass filtering (as Anil Seth write in several papers). This low pass filter has to be very far from the band of interest. So if you want respect the Luck raccomandation on anti-aliasing filtering use an higher rate, maybe 500 Hz if you can. If you can't the Anil Seth reccomandation has the priority on the anti-aliasing reccomandation. Consider to use unfiltered and not downsampled signal.<br>
Let me know if you have more questions.<br>
Vito<br><br>

As the ERP handbook by Luck (or his other book) recommends, anti-aliasing should better have the margin of 4-5 times of the new sampling rate e.g. if you downsample signlas to 250 Hz, anti-aliasing low-pass at 125 Hz is the standard, but recommendation is 75 Hz or even 50 Hz. Well, I haven't tested it myself so I am not sure what bad it would do if I use 125 Hz (any comment on this, anyone?) but in this case, I guess the anti-aliasing low-pass filter does affect the subsequest connectivity analysis--am I correct (assuming that I analyze EEG up to 50 Hz)?</p>

Dear Makoto,<br>
this will not affect the connectivity analysis if the frequency of interest are far from the Nyquist frequency. For example if you downsample to 500 Hz (Nyquist freq = 250 Hz) you will have no problem in the band 0-100 Hz.<br>
