Hi Kinkini,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would recommend not doing a CAR before you have removed bad channels.</div>
<div class="">Also, I would recommend not tu ‘repair’ any bad channels prior to running ICA.</div>
<div class="">Best wishes,</div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">Dear FieldTripers,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope everyone is coping well with the current situation.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am relatively new in fieldtrip and I have been long stuck with using ft_channelrepair for quite sometime now.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Briefly about my analysis pipeline:</div>
<div class="">1- Loading and epoching the data</div>
<div class="">2- ft_preprocessing - filtering, baselining, CAR</div>
<div class="">3- ft_databrowser - marking bad channels </div>
<div class=""><font style="background-color:rgb(252,229,205)" class="">4. ft_rejectvisual - rejecting bad channels; keepchannel = 'repair'</font></div>
<div class=""><font style="background-color:rgb(252,229,205)" class="">5. ft_channelrepair</font></div>
<div class="">6. ICA </div>
<div class="">7. TF Analysis</div>
<div class="">8. TF statististics</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have problems pertaining to step 4 and 5. In step 4 I want to keep the bad channels so that I can interpolate them in the next step. When I use data browser to look thorough the data, the bad channels look okay. But the problem starts when I
perform ICA on them. My first observation is that the wchange value is very big (looks like this : 257868.69202720), but ICA runs completely. However the ICA component topoplots look weird (screenshots attached). However, when I look through the icabrowser plots
, there are peaks at physiological frequencies. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In order to avoid this, I tried getting rid of the bad channels completely using ft_rejectvisual, perform ICA and then get back the missing channels using neighbourhood average. Doing this, I was able to perform TF analysis, but when I wanted
to apply statistics on the data, I had errors. Finally, I had to avoid the entire step of interpolation to be able to run everything and also perform statistics. But in a long run, I cannot avoid this step.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am finding no clue as to where is it going wrong. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hence, any idea, any clue from you all would help me very much. I am happy to provide with more details if necessary.</div>
<div class="">Thank you so much for your response.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Best regards,</div>
