mne.viz.plot_ica_overlay

mne.viz.plot_ica_overlay(ica, inst, exclude=None, picks=None, start=None, stop=None, title=None, show=True, n_pca_components=None)[source]

Overlay of raw and cleaned signals given the unmixing matrix.

This method helps visualizing signal quality and artifact rejection.

Parameters
icainstance of mne.preprocessing.ICA

The ICA object.

instinstance of mne.io.Raw or mne.Evoked

The signal to plot. If Raw, the raw data is displayed before and after cleaning. In a second panel, the cross-channel average will be displayed. Since dipolar sources will be canceled out, this representation is sensitive to artifacts. If Evoked, butterfly traces for signals before and after cleaning will be superimposed.

excludearray_like of int | None (default)

The components marked for exclusion. If None (default), ICA.exclude will be used.

picksstr | list | slice | None

Channels to include. Slices and lists of integers will be interpreted as channel indices. In lists, channel type strings (e.g., ['meg', 'eeg']) will pick channels of those types, channel name strings (e.g., ['MEG0111', 'MEG2623'] will pick the given channels. Can also be the string values “all” to pick all channels, or “data” to pick data channels. None (default) will pick all channels that were included during fitting.

start, stopfloat | None

The first and last time point (in seconds) of the data to plot. If inst is a Raw object, start=None and stop=None will be translated into start=0. and stop=3., respectively. For Evoked, None refers to the beginning and end of the evoked signal.

titlestr | None

The title of the generated figure. If None (default), no title is displayed.

showbool

Show the figure if True.

n_pca_componentsint | float | None

The number of PCA components to be kept, either absolute (int) or fraction of the explained variance (float). If None (default), the ica.n_pca_components from initialization will be used in 0.22; in 0.23 all components will be used.

New in version 0.22.

Returns
figinstance of Figure

The figure.
