[Eeglablist] ICA analysis + interpolation + rank of EEG data

[Dr. Sonia Baloni]

Hi Tarik,
  Thanks for the reply. I am referring to the eeglab tutorial available as a pdf in SCCN  website and Makoto’s preprocessing pipeline and also previous posts from the eeglablist. I compiled all three sources and so had some doubts. As Makoto’s preprocessing pipeline suggests to interpolate before running ICA.
I checked on again and sorry yes it is clean_rawdata that removed bad channels from the data.  I will again read the posts on ranks in eeglablist, maybe I missed some of them to clarify my second doubt.

best
Sonia

If it is the general eeglab tutorial or Makoto's pipeline (check it out if you have not) remember those are recommendations not golden rules. Many investigators make their own unique choices.

Posts in EEGlablist suggests that interpolation should be done after ICA.The tutorial suggests that two ICAs should be performed on the same data-set. So if we are performing two ICAs, we should interpolate these channels after second ICA?

If there are for example 128 channels with which data was collected and 10 channels were removed with clean line function then the rank of the data would be 118. If we now want to run ICA on this data do we need to add “ ‘pca’,117 “ in command line option - next to ‘extended’, 1 ? as suggested in  the tutotrial : https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Chapter_09:_Decomposing_Data_Using_ICA <https://sccn.ucsd.edu/wiki/Chapter_09:_Decomposing_Data_Using_ICA>.
