[Eeglablist] ICA of the evoked gamma?

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Nenad,

If you average across trials that have same temporal structures that should
be fine.

I haven't seen a gamma decomposed as a separate IC, but it has been always
accompanied by theta. That means, if theta were not decomposed well, there
would not be clear gamma found in ICs. There are several reasons I can
think of to explain it... one is the low amplitude, second is the small
local activation (i.e. not widely volume conducted), etc.
