Read and preprocess the data. Preprocessing consists of:

MEG channel selection
1-30 Hz band-pass filter



In [ ]:

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

raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(raw_fname, preload=True)

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

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



In [ ]:

    
def run_ica(method):
    ica = ICA(n_components=20, method=method, random_state=0)
    t0 = time()
    ica.fit(raw, picks=picks, reject=reject)
    fit_time = time() - t0
    title = ('ICA decomposition using %s (took %.1fs)' % (method, fit_time))
    ica.plot_components(title=title)
