RELAX

The Reduction of Electroencephalographic Artifacts (RELAX) is an open source extension for EEGLAB that provides a fully automated method to clean EEG data.

Downloading RELAX:
To download and install RELAX, click on the source code in the "Assets" section below, and unzip into your EEGLAB plugins folder.

v1.1.1

Fixed an error in the specification of triggers to levels for a single factor regression baseline correction in the epoching wrapper, so that the regression baseline correction method should be functional for any user set trigger.

Altered the labelling of the extended infomax ICA option in the GUI so it should be more clear to the user what this option reflects.

v1.1.0

Introduced new options in a beta version, which have not been formally tested but may improve performance:

Provided the option to leave low pass filtering until after the MWF cleaning, which significantly alleviates the risk of rank deficiencies in the MWF cleaning, allowing for much longer MWF delay periods (we've tested up to 30), providing theoretically better cleaning performance.

Provided the option to use EEGLAB's filter rather than just Butterworth filtering (previously this was not available as low pass filtering with EEGLAB's filter led to almost constant rank deficiencies in MWF cleaning).

Provided the option to use Zapline Plus to clean line noise (instead of just Butterworth notch filtering). Note that this is probably not appropriate for data that has had an online notch filter applied, and the authors of Zapline Plus do not recommend it's use for data sampled at higher than 250Hz.
