Hi Dr. Larsen,

This is Jake Hogan, I asked a while ago about the blink detection algorithm. Thank you for your advice in manually setting the threshold, performance improved drastically. I set the threshold to 90 using find_eog_events and wanted to confirm that this is in the same unit as the EEG (microvolts, in my case). This may be a trivial question but I want to confirm the details because we're preparing a manuscript for publication.

Thanks for your time,
Jake

External Email - Use Caution

hi,

internally it's using
https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/blob/maint/0.19/mne/preprocessing/_peak_finder.py#L14
but first it's doing some filtering:
