[Eeglablist] BINICA in Windows

[Andrew Corcoran]

Hi list

I'm rerunning some old preprocessing scripts and having some trouble
getting the binica implementation of runica to work with my version of
EEGlab (2024.2.1). The script runs fine with an archived version of EEGlab
from 2021 so I assume I have not set up the binary correctly.

I have tried copying over the binica.exe file from my archived version and
updated icadefs.m to ensure the ICABINARY path is correct. Attempting to
run binica via pop_runica produces the following error:

Output argument "wts" (and possibly others) not assigned a value in the
execution with "binica" function.
Error in pop_runica (line 532)
            [EEG.icaweights,EEG.icasphere] = binica( tmpdata, 'lrate',
0.001, g.options{:} );

I would like to continue using binica given its speed advantages but am
concerned that reproducibility of my analyses (by my future self and
possibly others) will be hampered if binica is difficult to set up...
Indeed,  I struggled to find a convenient download (for Windows) -- the
github code seems to require compilation, which I don't recall doing
previously. Is there a more straightforward alternative ?

Thanks
Andrew
