[Eeglablist] Methods of improving SNR

[Tyler Grummett]

Hello Makoto,

Is it possible to use that function to get regions of time that are considered artefactual? Rather than it removing the data itself?

I think the function pop_rejcont has that functionality. Otherwise its a stunning function!

Dear Arun,

The point in ASR 20 is to let ICA learn artifacts well but at the same time protect ICA from outliers in the raw data.

Right, it happened to me too. That's why I increased the threshold far higher.

After all, you cannot completely separate and remove artifacts only. The merit of ASR is evaluated in a total SNR increase, and there is no guarantee that the signal will be absolutely protected e.g. if Method A removes 10 artifacts and 1 signal, and Method B removes 30 artifacts and 2 signal, Method B is better in total.

Dear Makoto,
Thanks for the reply. I was wondering how such a large std value would be used.
I have been using default values with good results. But some of our lab's meditation data were losing visible 'alpha' patterns with this.
I will use this and give my feed back.
Once again thanks....

Dear Arun,

Read the GUI carefully and you'll find one of the boxes says '... using ASR' in which the default value could be 4 or 5 but change it to 20.

Dear Makoto,
In the last email with this topic ('Methods of improving SNR'), you mentioned that ASR threshold of "20" produced good results. Could you kindly help me identify the parameter of clean_raw/clean_asr that I need to change to acheve this.

Thanks...
