[Eeglablist] Does EEG.icaact represent components in channel reference?

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Martin,

EEG.icaact is analysing C3, am I right?

No. Channels and ICs are related via weight matrix. It's not one to one!

> In other words, if I remove components, it is possible that C3 is no
longer present.

No. When you remove IC20, then the backprojection of the remaining ICs will
miss contribution by IC20.
