% eyetrackerica() - reject independent components based on their % covariance with the simultaneously recorded eye track % % Usage: % >> EEG = eyetrackerica(EEG,sacstring,fixstring,sactolerance,... % threshratio,flagmode,plotfig,topomode) % % Inputs: % EEG - [string] EEG struct. EEG must already contain extra % channels with synchronized eye tracking data % (>> pop_importeyetracker()) and both saccade and fixation % events (imported or by using pop_detecteyemovements) % sacstring - [string] name of saccade event (in EEG.event). % This is 'saccade' per default, but may differ if saccades % were imported from Eyelink raw data (e.g. 'L_saccade') % fixstring - [string] name of fixation event (in EEG.event). % This is 'fixation' per default, but may differ if fixations % were imported from Eyelink raw data (e.g. 'R_fixation') % sactol - [vector of two integers], e.g. [5 10]. % Extra temporal tolerance around saccade onset and offset. % Saccade intervals will range from saccade-onset minus % window(1) samples until saccade-offset plus window(2) % samples. Correspondingly, the tolerance will be substracted % from the fixation intervals. % threshratio - critical variance ratio threshold for component rejection. % If the variance of IC activity within saccades is more than % threshratio larger than the IC activity during fixations, the % component will be flagged for rejection. % flagmode - [integer: either 1,2, or 3] % 1: do not flag any components for rejection (test mode) % 2: flag components for rejection in EEG.reject.gcompreject, % keep existing rejection flags (e.g. those flagged manually) % 3: flag components for rejection in EEG.reject.gcompreject, % overwrite all existing flags in EEG.reject.gcompreject, i.e. % components formely flagged as "bad" may be changed to "good" % plotfig - [0/1] - show figure to evaluate the rejection % threshold % topomode - - determines whether after % eyetrackerica a figure is shown with the 2D topographies of % flagged (bad and/or good) components (using pop_selectcomp). % Figure allows to toggle rejection flags manually. % Use one of four options: % 1: plot topos of "bad" and "good" components (2 figures) % 2: plot topos of "bad" components only (1 figure) % 3: plot topos of "good" components only (1 figure) % 4: do not plot topographies % Note: Option 1:3 requires electrode coordinates. % % Outputs: % EEG - EEG structure with updated field EEG.reject.gcompreject. % If rejectmode 1 or 2 was used, EEG.reject.gcompreject will % contain updated flags flagging components with a variance % ratio larger than threshratio % vartable - [matrix of size ncomp x 3] % Columns of [vartable] contain the following information: % vartable(:,1): mean IC variance during saccade intervals % vartable(:,2): mean IC variance during fixation intervals % vartable(:,3): ratio, i.e., vartable(:,1)/vartable(:,2) % High ratios indicate that the component is more active % during saccades than during fixations, and may therefore % reflect corneoretinal or myogenic ocular artifact % % To actually remove the flagged components from your data, use EEGLAB % menu "Tools" > "Remove Components" or function pop_subcomp() afterwards % % See also: pop_eyetrackerica, geticvariance % % Example: A call of the function might look like this: % % >> [EEG vartable] = eyetrackerica(EEG,'saccade','fixation',[5 0],1.1,3,1,1) % % Explanation: compute the variance of the activity time course of each IC % within saccade events (of type 'saccade' in EEG.event) and fixation % events (of type 'fixation' in EEG.event). For this analysis, saccade % intervals are defined as lasting from 5 samples before fixation onset % until 0 samples after saccade offset [sactol]. Conversely, variance for % fixation intervals is computed from 0 samples after fixation onset until % 5 samples before fixation offset. If the variance ratio % [var(sac)/var(fix)] for a component is larger than 1.1, set this % component to "reject". Overwrite existing rejection flags already present % in EEG.reject.gcompreject. Show an extra figure to evaluate the setting % for the threshold (maxcrit). Plot 2D topographies of components flagged % as good and bad. % % WARNING: Do not use this function on resampled EEG data. % This function requires the information about the duration of % saccades and fixations from EEG.event.duration. If you have RESAMPLED % your EEG file (pop_resample) after eye movement events were inserted, % the duration of these events will not be correct anymore, since EEGLAB's % pop_resample function does not update the EEG.event.duration fields. % So the outputs of the current function may be incorrect for resampled % EEG data. In other words, be careful with this function if you have % changed the sampling rate of your EEG data (thanks to % C. Huber-Huber for this bug report). % % The saccade/fixation "variance ratio" criterion was proposed by: % % Plöchl, M., Ossandon, J.P., & König, P. (2012).
