Hello,

I am using the interactive ica.plot\_components function. I am having a bit  
of trouble displaying individual IC's "Epochs Image and ERP" graph. It  
seems as though maybe the scale of the plotted data is wrong, because these  
graphs turn up essentially blank, with occasional faint hints of data. See  
photo attached. Thank you in advance!

Best wishes,  
Dillan

Hi Dillan,

Looking at the plots, it seems that you have a problem of artifacts in some  
epochs. See the plot of epochs variance. You may want to remove them before  
doing ica.plot\_properties or alternatively use the figure handle to adjust  
the color limits.

Best,  
Mainak
