[Eeglablist] Questions about topographic plot for all subjects and conditions (Makoto's Preprocessing Pipeline)

[Mahjabeen Rahman]

Hi fellow researchers,

I am looking for creating topographic map for all subjects and all conditions with level of significance like the attached figures. My questions are,


  1.  Does anyone have the codes to generate this topographic plots (like the attached) ? (If I don't want to use STUDY)
  2.  If I use STUDY design, in that case, can I use the cleaned data with manually rejected components ?  Also I found in Makoto's preprocessing,

"When creating STUDY, I usually load all the .set files into EEGLAB using pop_loadset() with 'loadmode', 'info' (it may be possible to do it from GUI too, but it is convenient to input EEG.subject and EEG.group altogether at this point). Importantly, creating a STUDY cleans your data because it performs IC rejection based on the two criteria: 1) dipoles with > 15% residual variance--Artoni et al. (2014) showed (indirect) evidence of why this value is about optimum; 2) dipoles outside brain--no argument. This is why you don't need to bother to manually reject ICs at the individual level."

I already did the cleaning, hence asking.

Thanks in advance,
