[Eeglablist] Makoto's preprocessing pipeline: ICA matrices transfer

[Scott Makeig]

Ya -

Why do you bandlimit 1-35 Hz before applying ICA decomposition? The upper
limit is best left open, as ICA decomposition can use spatially
differentiating information contained in higher frequency portions of the
source signals. The (~1 Hz) lower limit is justified by the understanding
that very-low-frequency contributions may be dominated by non-brain
artifact processes that would compete with brain sources for
places/separate dimensions in the decomposition. If the same were to occur
at high frequencies (e.g., hypothetically, say, *spatially* complex and
varying broadband 100-150 Hz noise), then using a high-pass cutoff (e.g., <
100 Hz) would be justified by the same reasoning.

Likely your finding that ICLabel returns more EMG sources when applied to
the 0.1-Hz high-passed data (without low pass filtering) arises because
ICLabel looks for the spectral signature of EMG (conceptually, a noise
plateau from 20 Hz  to max Hz) as well as for scalp map characteristics,
and doesn't see the spectral signature it is looking for in the 35-Hz
low-passed data...
