[Eeglablist] Artefact correction & ICA for multiple blocks during rest

[Scott Makeig]

Pia -

Yes, you can run an ICA decomposition across all the data (from the same
session / montage).  But the types of artifact (non-brain) as well as
brain(!) sources the decomposition identifies could indeed change in
different task conditions (e.g., EO|EC).  The multi-model option of AMICA
does a good job of finding changes in source structure. I suggest you look
at our recent publication on this:

Hsu, S.H., Pion-Tonachini, L., Palmer, J., Miyakoshi, M., Makeig, S. and
Jung, T.P., 2018. Modeling brain dynamic state changes with adaptive
mixture independent component analysis. *NeuroImage*, *183*, pp.47-61.

To remove artifacts from the data using multi-model AMICA, you will have to
remove non-brain ICs from each model only from the portion of the data that
model is trained on, and there are trade-offs we haven't explored (e.g.,
what smoothing length to use for computing model likelihoods - best to
experiment on your data with this a bit).
