> Dear Ana,

       If I understand correctly ,  we use ft_denoise_synthetic and
ft_denoise_pca to reduce  noise due to recording (e.g.  environment noise ,
thermal noise... ) not the brain signal artefact (e.g eye blink). Normally
,I use these two  functions  in the very early stage .

                                                 Best,
                                                 Haiteng
