Hi Makoto,

Just to clarify, while the process of developing my method does use 
inputs from the ICLabel website, the final product that people will use 
will */only/* look at the EEG measures and nothing from the website. 
Just like the other methods, it will not require people to actively 
contribute labels to work once released. The label collection is only 
for the development of the classier.
