Hi all,

In my preprocessing step, I have used the highpass filter of 0.1Hz and  
lowpass filter of 100.0 Hz in addition to the notch\_filter of 60Hz. It also  
shows up in my epochs.info. However, after plotting "epochs.psd ". I still  
have higher frequencies and line noises. I have attached the picture of my  
epochs.info and epochs.psd plot in addition to the ica component of the  
epoched data. I'd be thankful if anyone could let me know the possible  
reason for this issue.

Thanks,  
-Mary

you should check that you passed to Epochs the right raw object (check  
copies etc.)

I don't see how what you report can happen.
