Hi Tessa,

I imagine that you use ft_componentanalysis and ft_rejectcomponent sequentially in order to remove the eye blink topographies.
If you use the data.grad in the output to ft_rejectcomponent for the computation of the leadfields you should be fine. The balancing matrix grad.tra will contain the information that will be used for the correction of the leadfields.

Best wishes,

Jan-Mathijs

When ICA components representing eyeblink artifacts have been removed from the data, how can the leadfield for source reconstruction be adapted to account for the alterations to the data?
