This is SASICA, a plugin to EEGlab to help you reject/select independent components based on various properties of these components. Available methods are: Autocorrelation: detects noisy components with weak autocorrelation (muscle artifacts usually) Focal components: detects components that are too focal and thus unlikely to correspond to neural activity (bad channel or muscle usually). Focal trial activity: detects components with focal trial activity, with same algorhithm as focal components above. Results similar to trial variability. Signal to noise ratio: detects components with weak signal to noise ratio between arbitrary baseline and interest time windows. Dipole fit residual variance: detects components with high residual variance after subtraction of the forward dipole model. Note that the inverse dipole modeling using DIPFIT2 in EEGLAB must have been computed to use this measure. EOG correlation: detects components whose time course correlates with EOG channels. Bad channel correlation: detects components whose time course correlates with any channel(s). ADJUST selection: use ADJUST routines to select components (see Mognon, A., Jovicich, J., Bruzzone, L., & Buiatti, M. (2011). ADJUST: An automatic EEG artifact detector based on the joint use of spatial and temporal features. Psychophysiology, 48(2), 229-240. doi:10.1111/j.1469-8986.2010.01061.x) FASTER selection: use FASTER routines to select components (see Nolan, H., Whelan, R., & Reilly, R. B. (2010). FASTER: Fully Automated Statistical Thresholding for EEG artifact Rejection. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 192(1), 152-162. doi:16/j.jneumeth.2010.07.015) MARA selection: use MARA classification engine to select components (see Winkler I, Haufe S, Tangermann M. 2011. Automatic Classification of Artifactual ICA-Components for Artifact Removal in EEG Signals. Behavioral and Brain Functions. 7:30.)
