When data is referenced or when channels are removed, the ICA scalp topographies are also referenced, while the ICA activity remains unchanged.

However, this process violates the assumptions of ICA. Specifically, the relationship ICA_activations = ICA_weights * EEG_data no longer holds.

Despite this, we contend that this altered representation is the closest approximation to the state before re-referencing or the removal of channel(s). The alternative approach of recomputing activities is not ideal, as it does not constitute a standard ICA decomposition.
