[Eeglablist] Reject data (all methods)

[ida miokovic]

Dear Makoto, Mikolaj and Marco (and everyone else =)),

thank you very much for your answers.

Regarding 1st issue - Yes, I have been informed that there is a bug that
causes this channels locations problem, I have seen that others reported
the same issue, so I didn't reported it myself since it was said that this
will be corrected in the next EEGLAB version. Marco, is it necessary for me
to report this in order to get the developers version? How could I get it?

Regarding 2nd issue - I didn't realize that mentioned methods are
applicable only on epoched data. Are there any suggestions how to implement
any kind of "bad" parts of the components removal, when having continuous
data (before running second ICA)? Does EEGLAB support that? If not, any
pipeline in MATLAB itself would be appreciated...

Thank you very much again

Ida
