For example, in both labs where I have done experiments, we use various online references but always re-reference to the average of both mastoids during the offline analysis; this is a common procedure, if you want to do that all you need to do is make sure to buy a cap that includes mastoid electrodes. Another common procedure is to use the average reference (see Luck (2005) or the EEGLAB online wiki for detailed discussion about average reference); for that, the most important thing is for the cap to have sufficient electrodes, evenly covering enough of the head. Of course, there are also many other referencing procedures available.</div>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
I am new to this list, as I just started ding EEG experiments. I did some pilot tests with a BrainProducts/Brain Vision with an Acticap and I am doing some preliminary analysis using EEGLab/fieldtrip. I am now planning to buy my own EEG form Brain Products, but I am bothered by the fact that in most cap configs they sell, the reference is near Cz, usually FCz. As far as my knowledge goes, if I want to study power spectrum alterations and coherence in different frequencies between different electrodes, a reference in the head can be a problem, specially if some of the regions of interest are synchronous with the reference itself in the given frequency<br>
<br>
Can anyone point me to some good review or chapter about these issues so I can study them better and buy the best config available?<br>
<br>
Many many thanks for all<br>
<br>

Subject: [FieldTrip] Source localization using DICS for EEG data from<br>
combined MEG/EEG recordings<br>
Message-ID:<br>

<br>
Dear all,<br>
<br>
I am trying to perform source localization in the frequency domain<br>
from EEG data using DICS. The data were recorded combined with MEG<br>
(Neuromag data format). The volume conductor is a 3 shell realistic<br>
head model created with bemcp.<br>
When running DICS with the following settings<br>
<br>
cfg = [];<br>
cfg.method = 'dics';<br>
cfg.grad = elec;<br>
cfg.frequency = 14;<br>
cfg.vol = vol_eeg;<br>
cfg.dics.projectnoise = 'yes';<br>
cfg.dics.lambda = 5;<br>
source = ft_sourceanalysis(cfg, freq);<br>
<br>
<br>
I am am getting the following error message:<br>
<br>
??? Error using ==> svd<br>
Input to SVD must not contain NaN or Inf.<br>
<br>
Error in ==> beamformer_dics>pinv at 568<br>
[U,S,V] = svd(A,0);<br>
<br>
Error in ==> beamformer_dics at 314<br>
filt = pinv(lf' * invCf * lf) * lf' * invCf; %<br>
Gross eqn. 3, use<br>
PINV/SVD to cover rank deficient leadfield<br>
<br>
Error in ==> ft_sourceanalysis at 584<br>
dip(i) = beamformer_dics(grid, sens, vol, [],<br>
squeeze(Cf(i,:,:)), optarg{:});<br>
<br>
<br>
and I am not sure what might be the cause.<br>
<br>
Maybe anyone can help me! Thank you in advance!<br>
<br>
Marcel<br>
