[Eeglablist] Gratton ocular correction issue

Hi All,
Just thought I would chime in a little on the Gratton, Coles, &
Donchin Eye Movement Correction Procedure (EMCP).

References:
Gratton, G., Coles, M. G. H., & Donchin, E. (1983). A new method for
off-line removal of ocular artifact. Electroencephalography and
Clinical Neurophysiology, 55, 468-484.
Miller, G. A., Gratton, G., & Yee, C. M. (1988). Generalized
implementation of an eye movement correction procedure.
Psychophysiology, 25, 241-243.

This method is not designed for continuous data, in theory a
regression technique is very much applicable to continuous data but a
specific feature of the EMCP procedure precludes this use.



The EMCP procedure first subtracts the stimulus locked average from
all individual trials in order to remove any stimulus locked brain
activity from influencing the regression coefficients:

	-other regression techniques asked them to blink, estimate
propagation factors from this
	-but these initiated blinks differ from unintentional blinks (Records, 1979)
-blinks and eye movements have different factors, consider separately
(Verleger, 1982 doesn’t)
	-estimated after ERP average for EEG and EOG is subtracted from data
		-because if something happened locked to the event at both EOG and O1
		-the regression factor would be spuriously high!!!
-separately for horizontal and vertical EOG
-Average EEG at each channel and EOG
-subtract average from each trial to get non-event related
-Test by comparing the deviation from the true ERP (no blink trials)
-and by reduction in variance of trial s and time points
-factors are stable across sessions and subjects, saccades larger than blinks
-blink assumed to have occurred when ever at time point t, the
integral of V t-10 to Vt+10 exceeds some criteria.

ICA seems like the best option for continuous data as it will separate
this stimulus locked brain data as well,
