[Eeglablist] Using ICA with interpolated channels

[Jordi Costa Faidella]

thank you David and Philip for your clear comments!

However, I still have a question for Robert Whelan about the FASTER method: in the paper, the method appears to perform first an interpolation of bad channels and then the ICA, constrained with PCA. Is this PCA that constrains the possible ICs implemented by default in the method or it is something you had to perform in order to be able to use FASTER with your dataset?

thank you,

Jordi
