[Eeglablist] ICA decomposition of possibly 2 different conditions....

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Klados,

yes, you should keep the two conditions together. Otherwise, it is  
going to be hard to compare ICA component activities in the two  
conditions - you would have to find matching components and you would  
never know if the difference you observe between the two conditions  
for a given component pair is due to the difference in component  
carateristics (scalp projection, etc...) or if it due to the  
difference of brin activity in the two conditions. If you have the  
same components for both conditions, the first problem does not arise.  
So keep both conditions together and process the continuous file.

Hope this helps,

Arno
