[Eeglablist] ICA and covariance matrix for CSP

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Bethel,

does the warning also show up when you convert you data matrix to double precision (double function of Matlab).
Best,

Arno

Indeed the estimated matrix is not accurate. This does not happen if I use only a small subset of my channels after removing noise with ICA.  If I do not use ICA at all the warning disappears.
