[Eeglablist] phase shift and ICA

Actually the question can be asked in another way:

What happens to phase information when the ICA based artifact rejection 
is used, such that artifactual ICs are taken out, and the data is 
reconstructed back again with the rest of the ICs? Why would I prefer 
ICA correction rather than regression based correction?

Best,
Baris
