[Eeglablist] Preprocessing suggestions

[Gramann, Klaus]

Dear Chiara,



I agree with Stefan that many factors come into play regarding your data quality as well as the subsequent quality of the ICA decomposition.

We are having a workshop on Mobile Brain/Body Imaging next week from May 25 to May 27 where we discuss preprocessing options for MoBI data and introduce a pipeline that we developed in the Berlin Mobile Brain/Body Imaging labs.

If you are interested you can join us next week. 

The workshop is free and will also be recorded for later.

Best,

Klaus

Hi Chiara,

It is difficult to give precise recommendations. How "noisy" EEG data
are during physical activity such as cycling will depend on the
recording conditions, the hardware used, and the participants, of
course. Additional information like cadence event markers, power output,
IMUs, or video footage during data acquisition would help guiding the
analysis. Moreover, it matters whether you have stationary cycling or
real cycling data, whether wireless EEG with a head-mounted amplifier
was used (hopefully), what kind of cap and electrodes, etc. In any case,
ICA benefits from detrending (approx. 1 Hz high-pass) and pruning (try
to avoid manual pruning) before decomposing the data. Moreover, it does
not make too much sense to me to determine the number of components to
be removed beforehand - but it makes sense to use semi-automatic tools
for component selection (depending on your experience). to get started,
I suggest you check out Makotos pre-processing pipeline...

In order to minimize the risk of circular analysis
(https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19396166/__;!!Mih3wA!UWFLW_EAAfrgahU2qSH_ZvoiHLvG4cpP1yIyj_XhMGAr88OuypST0Q2F2wd2pipeOMMS6A$ ) you may want to take a few
pilot datasets, develop your optimal processing pipeline on these few
datasets only and then apply this pipeline to all other datasets.

Hope this helps.

Best,

Stefan
