[Eeglablist] unusual ICs

[Isaiah Innis]

Thank you for your help - it seems it was a rank problem.

If I understand the pipeline correctly 2 ICAs are performed, but the first
is used only to help identify bad epochs. So the steps would look like this:

1. Do an intial rejection of the data, removing paroxysmal sections that
would be hard for the ICA to interpret.
2. Run ICA, use the component activations scroll  to identify epochs that
are bad and should be rejected.
3. Run ICA again on the cleaned dataset. Now reject ICs that correspond to
blinks, eye movement, etc . . .


Would that be the recommended path to follow?


Thank you again,
