I ran the data using the cfg.runica.pca = N-1 parameters (I did it as N-2 actually, for the linked mastoid references) as described in the fieldtrip FAQ, Peter, and you, but the data did come out a bit weird, and I would prefer ICA over PCA, so I'll definitely try this as well and see if I get results that make more sense to me.</span><br>

Hi Max,<br>
<br>
<br>
When you specify the channel to be left out, you have to name it according to how it's named in your data. I believe that the 'refchan' is only called like that for the purpose of the example.<br>
So, when you have a single reference channel, named 'thisisthenameofyourreferencechannel', you need to specify '-thisisthenameofmyreferencechannel', rather than '-refchan'. Sorry for exaggerating, but perhaps the silly name brings across the message more clearly. Note, that when you have applied a common average reference, you could at random remove a channel (not advisable). In that case I'd specify the dimensionality of your data space prior to calling ft_componentanalysis, as cfg.runica.pca = N-1 (N being the number of EEG channels).<br>
<br>
<br>

I'm having this issue as well, only with EEG data, and at resamplefs = 150. I've added '-refchan' to my cfg.channel for ft_componentanalysis, and also set path for EEGlab toolbox, but the issue persists. Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>

Hi Sendy, JM,<br>
<br>
<br>
In addition, that error also happens (or used to, at least) when you have not selected MEG as channels, therefor applying ICA e.g. also on your EOG channels etc. as well.<br>
<br>
<br>

Hi Sendy,<br>
<br>
<br>
You may want to have a look at the following link:<br>

<a href="http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq/why_does_my_ica_output_contain_complex_numbers?s[]=component" target="_blank">http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq/why_does_my_ica_output_contain_complex_numbers?s[]=component</a><br>
<br>
<br>
I assume that your data has been passed through the MaxFilter, which massively reduces the rank of your data, causing the ICA algorithm to spit out complex valued numbers.<br>
You need to reduce the rank of your data prior to running the component decomposition, to be less that then true rank in your data.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm using Fieldtrip to analyze my Meg data.<br>
Actually, I'm trying to reject ocular artifacts by using ICA.<br>
I decreased the sample rate to 300 and I performed the ICA analysis as following:<br>
<br>
cfg = [];<br>
cfg.resamplefs = 300;<br>
cfg.detrend = 'no';<br>
data_1_rspl = ft_resampledata(cfg, data_1);<br>
%ICA<br>
cfg = [];<br>
cfg.method = 'runica';<br>
comp = ft_componentanalysis(cfg, data_1_rspl);<br>
<br>
<br>
It worked, but now when I try to visualize the different ICA components using:<br>
<br>
cfg = [];<br>
cfg.layout = 'neuromag306mag.lay'; % specify the layout file that should be used for plotting<br>
cfg.viewmode = 'component';<br>
ft_databrowser(cfg, comp);<br>
<br>
I can see how the waves look like, but I cannot see the topographic distribution of them.<br>
<br>
And Matlab gives me this error:<br>
<br>
??? Error using ==> surf at 78<br>
X, Y, Z, and C cannot be complex.<br>
<br>
Error in ==> ft_plot_topo at 251<br>
h = surf(Xi-deltax/2,Yi-deltay/2,zeros(size(Zi)), Zi, 'EdgeColor', 'none', 'FaceColor',<br>
shading);<br>
<br>
Error in ==> ft_databrowser>redraw_cb at 1850<br>
ft_plot_topo(chanx, chany, chanz, 'mask', ...<br>
<br>
Error in ==> ft_databrowser at 671<br>
redraw_cb(h);<br>
<br>
<br>
Could you help me in solving this problem?<br>
I also downloaded the latest version of fieldtrip but it still does not work.<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help.<br>
<br>
