Hi Rajat,

 

on the FieldTrip wiki is an example page showing one way how to deal with
the heartbeat in MEG recordings. It is very closely related to what Kaelasha
and Ivano proposed:

_to_remove_ecg_artifacts

 

Best,

Hi Rajat, 

 

I am using a Neuromag Elekta system. 

Provided I use bioleads to pick up ECG and EOG, when I run an ICA, ECG is
picked up and removed very tidily. 

We use leads above and below each eye (EOG), plus a lead on each wrist (ECG)
and the elbow for ground. 

In this case, running an ICA automatically and clearly picks up EOG and ECG
and these can be removed cleanly.

 

Previously I was not using bioleads. In that case, I only had data from the
MEG sensors. When I ran the ICA, it was more difficult to identify a clean
ECG component. But it was still possible to see components which were
largely ECG and EOG, and these could be removed. No ideal, but still
possible. 

 

If your system allows use of bioleads, use these and run
ft_componentanalysis followed by ft_rejectcomponent on preprocessed data.

If not, just run the ft_componentanalysis and ft_rejectcomponent anyway. ECG
should still be able to be identified.

 

Hope that helps!

 

Kaelasha

Hello rajat,

 

To do the triangle, it's usually left wrist, right wrist and right leg.
However in clinical studies, they use two electrodes: one underneath the
right clavicle and the other roughly five centimetres below the left arm
pit.

 

As for removing it from the signal, the ICA method is your best bet. However
it will be difficult and I'm not 100% you'll be to find a pure ICA component
that contains just ECG activity.

 

I hope I helped the slightest bit.

 

Tyler

Dear FieldTrippers,

 

I have not been able to find a resource for ECG recording and removal in
FieldTrip.

 

What is the best practise in terms of placing the electrodes (and how many)
? Left/Right

wrist?

 

Also is there a standard pipeline to remove the ECG from these measurements?

 

Any pointers would be great.

 

Thank you.

 

 Rajat
