[Eeglablist] When to perform re-reference?

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Brian,

The average referencing is not affected by epoch rejection (assuming that
bad EEG is restricted to the epochs that are rejected) or component
rejection. In your case, average referencing can be done either before or
after two ICAs.

I'm still waiting to hear from Jason though whether it's better to do
average referencing before ICA and if so, why.
