Dear Kate,

script?

In the case of EEGLAB 14 or before...
After clustering the ICs in STUDY, 'Plot spectra' for all the clusters from
'Edit and plot'. After plotting all the cluster spectra, close the 'Edit
and plot' window BY PRESSING OK. This creates 'STUDY.cluster(3).icaspectra'
or something like that under each cluster which you can grab for your own
statistics.

are differences? Where can I get the data to use in SPSS?

Differences across conditions? Then you have to 'epoch' the trials
separately for each condition. This is needed regardless of whether you
perform sensor-level or ICA-decomposed comparison. If you are interested in
ICA-clustering STUDY, you may want to check out this plugin I wrote. This
supports data export to SPSS.
