[Eeglablist] How to deal with corrupted ICA decompositions

[Arnaud Delorme]

The data was not full rank but necessary corrections were done (PCA of number of channels-1). Full rank is a common issue though and one that should be checked first.

This is another problem which might be specific to the EEG amplifier and to Infomax ICA in which the first two components become quite noisy.

> Arno, check if your original data was full rank. I've repeatedly seen this before, and I found it happens when the data are not full ranked. By the way, when you run matlab rank() don't use too long data, just give it short data long... you may also want to test it by changing the length (1:1000, 1:10000, 1:100000...) In the middle of this wiki page http://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Makoto%27s_preprocessing_pipeline I put an example of such case.
