[Eeglablist] Reject data (all methods)

[Marco Montalto]

Dear Ida,

Regarding Problem no. 1, I was having the same problem with the same version of EEGLAB you are using. When I plotted channel locations by pressing plot-2D I used to get a plot with all channels squashed in the bottom left hand corner of the plot. I reported the problem. Arno reproduced the problem and made the necessary changes to the developer's version of EEGLAB. I am using the developer's version now and the problem is indeed solved. So I would recommend that you use the developer's version to overcome this problem.

Regarding Problem no. 2, (corroborating what was said previously by Mikołaj Magnuski), Reject data (all methods) is greyed out because you have not extracted any epochs. Since you are using continuous data you cannot make use of this function, .

Regards,
Marco

Dear list,

I am running ICA decomposition on continuous data. I have several questions regarding this:

1. After applying lowpass filter and removing line noise (using Cleanline plug-in), I import the channel locations of the dataset. I am using EEGLAB v12.0.1.0b which is having issues with channel locations importing, but when I obtain ICA components, scalp maps seem to be plotted correctly, so I suppose that this bug does not influence this step? After that, I do the average reference.

2. Since I plan to run ICA second time, I should remove bad trials of the components (not entire component/s) using Tools --> Reject data using ICA --> Reject data (all methods). After doing all described above, I do not have an option to click on this tab "Reject data (all methods)" (it is grey). It is possibe to click only on "Reject components by map". Does anyone have an idea what could be the reason for this? 

3. There is a suggestion that not more than 10% of the dataset should be rejected after applying all the methods I am interested in. Are some of the methods given it this menu (Find abnormal values, Find abnormal trends, Find impropable data, Find abnormal distributions, Find abnormal spectra (slow)) more convenient that others and which? Which way I can calculate what is the percent of the rejected data?
4. Should the mean of the all channels be removed somewhere in this procedure and where is it suggested to be done? As I mentioned, here contiuous data is used, so there are no epochs and no need for baseline removal.



Thank you very much for any help.

All the best

Ida
