Dear mne experts, I have tried to run the example "Artifact Correction with ICA": [https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto\_tutorials/plot\_artifacts\_correction\_ica.html?highlight=ica](https://martinos.org/mne/stable/auto_tutorials/plot_artifacts_correction_ica.html?highlight=ica) I have also used the same data as is used in the example. However, I am getting the following error: AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) /scratch/nbe/braindata/mhhakone/intell/TaskIII/coherence-analysis/test-ica.py in \()      56 plt.close()      57 ---\> 58 ica.plot\_properties(eog\_epochs, picks=eog\_inds, psd\_args={'fmax': 35.},      59 image\_args={'sigma': 1.})      60 AttributeError: 'ICA' object has no attribute 'plot\_properties' ica is as follows: \ Could someone please let me know what might be wrong?

Your mne version might be too old - can you check: import mne print(mne.\_\_version\_\_) 24.07.2017 20:31 "Maria Hakonen" \ napisa?(a): ---

print(mne.\_\_version\_\_) gives 0.11.dev0. Python and conda versions are: Python 2.7.13 :: Anaconda 4.3.0 (64-bit) conda 4.3.21 I tried: pip install --user mne --upgrade Which gives: Collecting mne Installing collected packages: mne Successfully installed mne-0.14.1 However, print(mne.\_\_version\_\_) still gives 0.11.dev0, and I am also getting the same error.

It seems like you have two versions of mne installed on your system. One via pip and another one with some other method, with the latter being found before the latest one. If you check: import mne print(mne.\_\_path\_\_) you can see where you import your mne from. Assuming that you don't need that older version, you could simply remove it from your system, and the next time you import mne, python should only find the newest version. Eduard ---

Another possibility is that you did not restart python/notebook after updating mne. 25.07.2017 10:26 "Ort, E." \ napisa?(a): ---

Thank you for the answers! The example script seems to work correctly with mne 0.14.1 and matplotlib 1.5.1. If I use matplotlib 2.0.0, the black outlines of the columns are missing in the figure "ICA component scores" (i.e. there is only a red column).

Hi Maria, thanks a lot for the bug report. It should be fixed in [https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/4449](https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/pull/4449) Best, Alex
