[Eeglablist] New noise removal plugin released: Zapline-plus

[Marius Klug]

Dear list,

we are happy to announce that we released Zapline-plus, a new artifact
removal tool, available for download in the EEGLAB plugins manager now!

Zapline-plus (Klug & Kloosterman, 2022) is a wrapper for Zapline (de
Cheveigné, 2020) that automatically removes spectral peaks like line noise
or other oscillations (e.g. stemming from a VR display) from your data
while ensuring minimal negative impact. It preserves both the non-noise
spectrum for analysis, as well as the full data rank for subsequent ICA
processing. It searches for noise frequencies (can also select line only),
divides the data into spatially stable chunks, and adapts the cleaning
strength automatically. Finally, a detailed plot is created that allows
checking the cleaning in depth.

A detailed guide for usage and interpretations of the plot can be found in
our git repository: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_MariusKlug_zapline-2Dplus&d=DwIFaQ&c=-35OiAkTchMrZOngvJPOeA&r=kB5f6DjXkuOQpM1bq5OFA9kKiQyNm1p6x6e36h3EglE&m=wbP5PlkQa6_ySLwuQmZU5o5ujtc10iYE6mO-XQLhS8o1iR7UvaP1hpSVBSaU6mhl&s=YAYPKsOoV-TL7zZTkeLSVHGomZegtK6bU643JMBGdvc&e=
