[Mne_analysis] channels types

[Burkhard Maess]

Dear MNE experts,

it seems that the channel type 'ecg' was removed from the list of supported channel types for the ICA. 
Is this intended or an accident? Channel types 'eeg' and 'eog' are still supported. Here is the error message from a call of the ica.py function with data from MEG channels and the ECG channel.
thank you very much in advance for your help and best wishes,
Burkhard
