[Eeglablist] ICA running slowly and returning error

[Scott Makeig]

Anaeile -  This means that the problem dataset is rank-deficient. One
channel might be repeated, or be a sum of two or more other channels, etc.
Use the 'pca' flag to reduce the rank by one when running runica. Notice on
the Matlab command line if the step size is decreasing as normal. If not,
try reducing the dimension by 2, etc.
