[Homer-users] Trouble with Homer2: Using Artifact marking and GLM (Drift) together, sets CCs to zero???

[Marina Winkler]

Dear Mailinglist,

I am having (again) some serious trouble with the Homer2 Toolbox. I have the newest version of Homer2 (2.1), but this trouble I 
also experienced with an older version of Homer. 

Whenever I use the artifact detection and the GLM (drift) together, my concentration changes (CC's) get totally messed up -> 
areas containing artifact markings get set to zeros in the CC's.  

Homer2 does this not only for my infant data but also for the sample data (which did not contain artifacts, but illustration purposes I set the sensitivity very high, to have some areas marked)... -> Pictures attached.

What I tried so far:

-> Using artifact marking together with a PCA or PCA recursive and GLM (drift) - still had zero's in the CC's.
-> Using another GLM function (GLM Drift SS) - problem persisted.
-> Just artifact detection and no GLM - no zero's in CC's.
-> not using artifact marking, but just Filter and GLM - no zero's in CC's.  

Do your Homer2 toolboxes do this as well, or is this only mine? 

Might this be a problem in the parameters/functions I use? If so, which alternative functions should I use instead? 
I need a BPF, an automatic artifact detection and correction by PCA and a GLM.   

Where in the scripts or structures/variables might this problem be? 
I have a fresh Homer2 install, without any self-written code in it.   

Thank you very much,
Marina
