[Eeglablist] re referencing to average after ICA

Dear all,

Thank you all for your answers and useful links. I have a follow-up
question regarding the 1Hz filter Makoto suggests using before running ICA.
I would use this filter just for the ICA and then apply the weights to the
unfiltered data. But I was actually wondering about the slow drifts that
this filter tackles; how do such artifacts impact on time frequency
analyses and/or ERP's? Can I leave them in (as I would if doing the
backtransform), provided I am mainly interested in frequencies above 3 Hz?
Or should I reject these trials regardless?

Thank you!
Raquel
