[FieldTrip] problem with ICA

[Valentina Niccolai]

Hallo.

I have a problem with the ICA, which I did not have before with the same
dataset. It seems not to work properly because it gives complex numbers.
The problem occurs also if I use older ft versions. I give in the ICA the
output of ft_rejectvisual (already preprocessed data), which looks normal
to me.

Here below is the output of ft_componentanalysis and in attachment the
strange output when calling ft_databrowser: some or all the components are
“dead” and the head views as well as the component number on the top
disappear.

I am thankful for any help.

    cfg.method       = 'runica';

    cfg.channel      = {'all','-EOG','-EMG'};

    comp = ft_componentanalysis(cfg, rej_vis_res);





The result of my component analysis looks like this:

comp =



      fsample: 600

         time: {1x237 cell}

        trial: {1x237 cell}

         topo: [306x2 double]

     unmixing: [2x306 double]

        label: {2x1 cell}

    topolabel: {306x1 cell}

         grad: [1x1 struct]

    trialinfo: [237x1 double]

          cfg: [1x1 struct]



and in comp.trial I get imaginary numbers:



>> comp.trial{1}

ans =

   1.0e-18 *

  Columns 1 through 6
