"""
Artifact Correction with ICA
============================
ICA finds directions in the feature space
corresponding to projections with high non-Gaussianity. We thus obtain
a decomposition into independent components, and the artifact's contribution
is typically localized in only a small number of components.
These components have to be correctly identified and removed.
If EOG or ECG recordings are available, they can be used in ICA to
automatically select the corresponding artifact components from the
decomposition. To do so, you have to first build an :class:`mne.Epochs` object
around blink or heartbeat events.
ICA is implemented in MNE using the :class:`mne.preprocessing.ICA` class,
which we will review here.

# Before applying artifact correction please learn about your actual artifacts
# by reading :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_tutorials_plot_artifacts_detection.py`.
#
# .. warning:: ICA is sensitive to low-frequency drifts and therefore
# requires the data to be high-pass filtered prior to fitting.
# Typically, a cutoff frequency of 1 Hz is recommended. Note that
# FIR filters prior to MNE 0.15 used the ``'firwin2'`` design
# method, which generally produces rather shallow filters that
# might not work for ICA processing. Therefore, it is recommended
# to use IIR filters for MNE up to 0.14. In MNE 0.15, FIR filters
# can be designed with the ``'firwin'`` method, which generally
# produces much steeper filters. This method will be the default
# FIR design method in MNE 0.16. In MNE 0.15, you need to
# explicitly set ``fir_design='firwin'`` to use this method. This
# is the recommended filter method for ICA preprocessing.
###############################################################################
# Fit ICA
# -------
#
# First, choose the ICA method. There are currently four possible choices:
# `fastica`, `picard`, `infomax` and `extended-infomax`.
#
# .. note:: The default method in MNE is FastICA, which along with Infomax is
# one of the most widely used ICA algorithms. Picard is a
# new algorithm that is expected to converge faster than FastICA and
# Infomax, especially when the aim is to recover accurate maps with
# a low tolerance parameter, see [1]_ for more information.
method = 'fastica'

n_components = 25 # if float, select n_components by explained variance of PCA
decim = 3 # we need sufficient statistics, not all time points -> saves time
# we will also set state of the random number generator - ICA is a
# non-deterministic algorithm, but we want to have the same decomposition
# and the same order of components each time this tutorial is run
random_state = 23
###############################################################################
# Define the ICA object instance
ica = ICA(n_components=n_components, method=method, random_state=random_state)

# Component properties
# --------------------
#
# Let's take a closer look at properties of first three independent components.
# first, component 0:
ica.plot_properties(raw, picks=0)
###############################################################################
# we can see that the data were filtered so the spectrum plot is not
# very informative, let's change that:
ica.plot_properties(raw, picks=0, psd_args={'fmax': 35.})
###############################################################################
# we can also take a look at multiple different components at once:
ica.plot_properties(raw, picks=[1, 2], psd_args={'fmax': 35.})
###############################################################################
# Instead of opening individual figures with component properties, we can
# also pass an instance of Raw or Epochs in ``inst`` argument to
# ``ica.plot_components``. This would allow us to open component properties
# interactively by clicking on individual component topomaps. In the notebook
# this works only when running matplotlib in interactive mode
# (``%matplotlib``).
# uncomment the code below to test the interactive mode of plot_components:
# ica.plot_components(picks=range(10), inst=raw)
###############################################################################
# Advanced artifact detection
# ---------------------------
#
# Let's use a more efficient way to find artifacts
eog_average = create_eog_epochs(raw, reject=dict(mag=5e-12, grad=4000e-13),
picks=picks_meg).average()
eog_epochs = create_eog_epochs(raw, reject=reject) # get single EOG trials
eog_inds, scores = ica.find_bads_eog(eog_epochs) # find via correlation
ica.plot_scores(scores, exclude=eog_inds) # look at r scores of components
# we can see that only one component is highly correlated and that this
# component got detected by our correlation analysis (red).
ica.plot_sources(eog_average, exclude=eog_inds) # look at source time course
###############################################################################
# We can take a look at the properties of that component, now using the
# data epoched with respect to EOG events.
# We will also use a little bit of smoothing along the trials axis in the
# epochs image:
ica.plot_properties(eog_epochs, picks=eog_inds, psd_args={'fmax': 35.},
image_args={'sigma': 1.})
###############################################################################
# That component is showing a prototypical average vertical EOG time course.
#
# Pay attention to the labels, a customized read-out of the
# ``mne.preprocessing.ICA.labels_``:
print(ica.labels_)
###############################################################################
# These labels were used by the plotters and are added automatically
# by artifact detection functions. You can also manually edit them to annotate
# components.
#
# Now let's see how we would modify our signals if we removed this component
# from the data.
ica.plot_overlay(eog_average, exclude=eog_inds, show=False)
# red -> before, black -> after. Yes! We remove quite a lot!
# to definitely register this component as a bad one to be removed
# there is the ``ica.exclude`` attribute, a simple Python list
ica.exclude.extend(eog_inds)
# from now on the ICA will reject this component even if no exclude
# parameter is passed, and this information will be stored to disk
# on saving
# uncomment this for reading and writing
# ica.save('my-ica.fif')
# ica = read_ica('my-ica.fif')
###############################################################################
# Note that nothing is yet removed from the raw data. To remove the effects of
# the rejected components,

# this tutorial still works as intended.

# What if we don't have an EOG channel?
# -------------------------------------
#
# We could either:
#
# 1. make a bipolar reference from frontal EEG sensors and use as virtual EOG
# channel. This can be tricky though as you can only hope that the frontal
# EEG channels only reflect EOG and not brain dynamics in the prefrontal
# cortex.
# 2. go for a semi-automated approach, using template matching.
#
# In MNE-Python option 2 is easily achievable and it might give better results,
# so let's have a look at it.
from mne.preprocessing.ica import corrmap # noqa
###############################################################################
# The idea behind corrmap is that artifact patterns are similar across subjects
# and can thus be identified by correlating the different patterns resulting
# from each solution with a template. The procedure is therefore
# semi-automatic. :func:`mne.preprocessing.corrmap` hence takes a list of
# ICA solutions and a template, that can be an index or an array.
#
# As we don't have different subjects or runs available today, here we will
# simulate ICA solutions from different subjects by fitting ICA models to
# different parts of the same recording. Then we will use one of the components
# from our original ICA as a template in order to detect sufficiently similar
# components in the simulated ICAs.
#
# The following block of code simulates having ICA solutions from different
# runs/subjects so it should not be used in real analysis - use independent
# data sets instead.
# We'll start by simulating a group of subjects or runs from a subject
start, stop = [0, raw.times[-1]]
intervals = np.linspace(start, stop, 4, dtype=np.float)

for ii, start in enumerate(intervals):
if ii + 1 < len(intervals):

this_ica = ICA(n_components=n_components, method=method).fit(
raw, start=start, stop=stop, reject=reject)
icas_from_other_data.append(this_ica)
###############################################################################
# Remember, don't do this at home! Start by reading in a collection of ICA
# solutions instead. Something like:
#
# ``icas = [mne.preprocessing.read_ica(fname) for fname in ica_fnames]``
print(icas_from_other_data)
###############################################################################
# We use our original ICA as reference.
reference_ica = ica
###############################################################################
# Investigate our reference ICA:
reference_ica.plot_components()
###############################################################################
# Which one is the bad EOG component?
# Here we rely on our previous detection algorithm. You would need to decide
# yourself if no automatic detection was available.
reference_ica.plot_sources(eog_average, exclude=eog_inds)
###############################################################################
# Indeed it looks like an EOG, also in the average time course.
#
# We construct a list where our reference run is the first element. Then we
# can detect similar components from the other runs (the other ICA objects)
# using :func:`mne.preprocessing.corrmap`. So our template must be a tuple like
# (reference_run_index, component_index):
icas = [reference_ica] + icas_from_other_data
template = (0, eog_inds[0])
###############################################################################
# Now we can run the CORRMAP algorithm.
fig_template, fig_detected = corrmap(icas, template=template, label="blinks",
show=True, threshold=.8, ch_type='mag')
###############################################################################
# Nice, we have found similar ICs from the other (simulated) runs!
# In this way, you can detect a type of artifact semi-automatically for example
# for all subjects in a study.
# The detected template can also be retrieved as an array and stored; this
# array can be used as an alternative template to
# :func:`mne.preprocessing.corrmap`.
eog_component = reference_ica.get_components()[:, eog_inds[0]]
###############################################################################
# If you calculate a new ICA solution, you can provide this array instead of
# specifying the template in reference to the list of ICA objects you want
# to run CORRMAP on. (Of course, the retrieved component map arrays can
# also be used for other purposes than artifact correction.)
#
# You can also use SSP to correct for artifacts. It is a bit simpler and
# faster but also less precise than ICA and requires that you know the event
# timing of your artifact.
# See :ref:`sphx_glr_auto_tutorials_plot_artifacts_correction_ssp.py`.
