[Eeglablist] PREP: how to best use for ICA?

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Michael,

Yes, I was wondering the same thing too.
For ICA point of view, interpolating channels is meaningless. If one can
simply reject channels instead of interpolating, that's the best for us.
I'll ask Nima if no-interpolation is in the option.

My impression is that they care channel-level cleaning more than I do. For
example, when you use clean_rawdata, which Christian Kothe developed, the
suit spend long time to detect and reject bad channels.

I'll get back to you when I hear back from Nima.
