[Eeglablist] Dealing with a noisy TP10 channel for re-referencing (average TP9-TP10)

[ivano triggiani]

Dear Boki,

unfortunately, the reference electrodes must be checked carefully during
the recording process. I won't use the single mastoid to re-reference or
use the interpolated TP10. At this point, a thing you could do, if you want
to avoid the common average, is the re-reference to REST average (Yao et
al.,2001, available on EEGlab as a plugin).

Best,
Ivano

PS The Nike-logo shape killed me! :-D
