[Eeglablist] Data Processing Steps for ICA?

[Paul Yu-Chun Chang]

Dear Arno & Makoto,

Many thanks for your reply and the suggested pages; they are indeed very
helpful. One small question I still have, then, is that it is suggested in
Makoto's page to discard (any) 1 channel from the data at the step of
average-rereferencing (due to reduction of data rank by 1), before running
ICA. If I just rereference after ICA, would ICA-matrix transformation also
take care of the data rank issue or should I still discard 1 channel?

Thank you very much,

Paul
