<p class="MsoNormal">Dear EEGLAB list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have pre-processed my data with EEGLAB version 13.5.4b in Matlab R2014a and used the default FIR filter to filter my data, setting the lower edge to 0.5 Hz. In
<a href="https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Makoto%27s_preprocessing_pipeline#High-pass_filter_the_data_at_1-Hz_.28for_ICA.2C_ASR.2C_and_CleanLine.29">
Makoto’s preprocessing pipeline</a> I have read that “1-Hz cutoff in EEGLAB is actually 1-Hz pass-band edge, and actually -6dB point, which is a standard definition of 'cut off frequency', is at 0.5 Hz.”

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Apologies if these might seem silly questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
