EOG: Ocular Contamination#

EOG views quantify coupling between ocular reference activity and MEG channels.

For execution steps, see Tutorial.

EOG in QC summary#

QC summary -> EOG reports affected-channel counts and percentages (task/run-matched through GQI rows when available).

QC implications#

  • broad high coupling suggests strong blink/ocular burden,

  • anteriorly concentrated maps are common but still quantify burden for thresholding,

  • combine with task timing and behavior context before exclusion decisions.

EOG contamination typically shows strongest effects in frontal sensors. The QC summary provides affected-channel counts and percentages matched to GQI rows when available.
