Read and preprocess the data. Preprocessing consists of:

• MEG channel selection

• 1-30 Hz band-pass filter

data_path = sample.data_path()
meg_path = data_path / 'MEG' / 'sample'
raw_fname = meg_path / 'sample_audvis_filt-0-40_raw.fif'

raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(raw_fname).crop(0, 60).pick('meg').load_data()

reject = dict(mag=5e-12, grad=4000e-13)
raw.filter(1, 30, fir_design='firwin')

FIR filter parameters
---------------------
Designing a one-pass, zero-phase, non-causal bandpass filter:
- Windowed time-domain design (firwin) method
- Hamming window with 0.0194 passband ripple and 53 dB stopband attenuation
- Lower passband edge: 1.00
- Lower transition bandwidth: 1.00 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 0.50 Hz)
- Upper passband edge: 30.00 Hz
- Upper transition bandwidth: 7.50 Hz (-6 dB cutoff frequency: 33.75 Hz)
- Filter length: 497 samples (3.310 sec)

Define a function that runs ICA on the raw MEG data and plots the components

def run_ica(method, fit_params=None):
    ica = ICA(n_components=20, method=method, fit_params=fit_params,
              max_iter='auto', random_state=0)
    t0 = time()
    ica.fit(raw, reject=reject)
    fit_time = time() - t0
    title = ('ICA decomposition using %s (took %.1fs)' % (method, fit_time))
    ica.plot_components(title=title)
