<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Fieldtrip list,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been using ICA (fastICA specifically) to clean blinks and cardiac artefact from my MEG data (neuromag 306 system) but find that I get some components that are "off" for a period and "on" for a period, or in other words some trials have the components
"on" and others "off"<span style="font-size: 10pt;">. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I'm assuming these "off" periods are due to the differing dimensionality within the data due to the block by block rw nature of tsss, but when they're "on", they seem to contain a higher amplitude signal to the other components. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">My questions are: Are these on / off components due the differing dimensionality between blocks due to the tsss process? Is it more likely they contain data relating to the brain, something else such as movement, a mix of
the two or it's simply impossible to tell? </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this, </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>
