[Eeglablist] Issue with CleanLine

[Clement Lee]

Hi Alex,

If you have intermittent line noise throughout the recording, the best
thing would be to use a notch filter at 60 (or 50) Hz. Bandpass filtering
may not work, depending on the lower and upper edge you specify. Makoto
updated his preprocessing pipeline with a section detailing the case when
CleanLine fails to remove line noise:

Hope that helps,
