    Hi all, <br>
    <br>
    Just adding this info for the sake of completeness. Thanks, Arjen,
    for clarifying it!<br>
    <br>
    As I suspected, it's *really* not a good idea to use
    ft_regressconfound before ICA. In fact, this function should be used
    only at the very latest stages of your analysis, either just before
    doing stats, or by incorporating the approach in the stats itself.<br>

      hi Steve, <br>
      <br>
      Thanks, sounds like a very reasonable explanation.<br>
      I'm wondering whether I could use Arjen's correction for head
      movement prior to ICA decomposition, but I can imagine there would
      be problems with doing the regression first... I'll ask Arjen what
      he thinks and post it here - if he doesn't see this before I see
      him again - but I'd be curious to hear what you think as well.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks a lot!<br>

              <div>Hello Vitoria,<br>

              I'm not sure, but one of my guesses would be head
              movement. That is to say, if the participant moves her
              head an inch (for example) then the same type of activity
              is going to start appearing on different sensors, and if
              that movement isn't corrected for then you can indeed
              start seeing what looks like many copies of the same
              component. (If you've done EEG, this is the same thing
              that happens when, for example, you bring the same
              participant back for multiple sessions on separate days
              and concatenate the datasets together, but didn't put the
              cap on on exactly the same place each time.) Do you have
              marker measurements you can use to at least check how much
              the head was moving, and perhaps to correct for movements
              over the course of the session?<br>

                        Hi everyone,<br>
                        <br>
                        I'm running ICA (cfg.method = 'runica') on CTF
                        data with 274 sensors. I<br>
                        was restricting my decomposition to 80
                        components at first, and it<br>
                        worked well for all previous patients.<br>
                        Somehow, for this particular patient, many of
                        the components have<br>
                        similar topography (I'm only showing till 42
                        below but the similarity<br>
                        continues for more components). Has anyone ever
                        seen this before?<br>
                        If I look at the time course of these
                        components, not all of them are<br>
                        clear eye-movements, but according to the
                        topography, you'd think they are.<br>
                        Any thoughts, like either changing the method or
                        rejecting only those<br>
                        components whose time courses clearly indicate
                        eye movements and keep<br>
                        other components despite their topographies?<br>
                        <br>
                        Thanks,<br>
                        Vitoria<br>
