```python
#Setting up ICA
    
    ica = mne.preprocessing.ICA(n_components=20, random_state=97, max_iter=800)
    ica.fit(raw, picks = 'eeg')
    
    #ica.exclude = [1, 2] # details on how we picked these are omitted here
    #ica.plot_properties()
    raw.drop_channels('M1')
    raw.drop_channels('M2')
    
    # Removing muscle artefacts
    muscle_idx_auto, scores = ica.find_bads_muscle(raw)
    ica.plot_scores(scores, exclude=muscle_idx_auto)
    ica.exclude = muscle_idx_auto
