+       :align: center
+       :alt: Before/after comparison of EEGPrep processing on EEG data.
+
+    This pipeline involves the stages:
+
+    - DC offset subtraction (:class:`RemoveDCOffset`)
+    - Optional resampling (:class:`Resampling`)
+    - Flatline channel detection and removal (:class:`RemoveFlatChannels`)
+    - High-pass filtering (:class:`RemoveDrifts`)
+    - Bad channel detection and removal using correlation and HF noise criteria
+      (:class:`RemoveBadChannels` with fallback to :class:`RemoveBadChannelsNoLocs`)
+    - Burst artifact removal using ASR (Artifact Subspace Reconstruction)
+      (:class:`RemoveBursts`)
+    - Detection and removal of residual bad time windows (:class:`RemoveBadWindows`)
+    - Optional reinterpolation of removed channels
+      (:class:`ReinterpolateRemovedChannels`)
+    - Optional common average referencing (:class:`RemoveCommonAverageReference`)
+
+    These steps are also individually available as separate preprocessors in this module
+    if you want to apply only a subset of them or customize some beyond the parameters
+    available here. Note that it is important to apply them in the order given above;
+    other orderings may lead to suboptimal results.
+
+    Typically no signal processing (except potentially resampling or removal of unused
+    channels or time windows) should be done before this pipeline. It is recommended to
+    follow this with at least a low-pass filter to remove high-frequency artifacts
+    (e.g., 40-45 Hz transition band).
+
+    The main processing parameters can each be set to None to skip the respective
+    stage (or False for boolean switches). Note this pipeline will only affect the
+    EEG channels in your data, and will leave other channels unaffected. It is
+    recommended to remove these channels yourself beforehand if you don't want them
+    included in your downstream analysis.
+
+    .. Note::
+        This implementation of the pipeline is best used in the context of
+        cross-session prediction; when using this with a within-session split, there is
+        a risk of data leakage since the artifact removal will be calibrated on statistics
+        of the entire session (and thus test sets). In practice the effect may be minor,
+        unless your downstream analysis is strongly driven by artifacts (e.g., if you
+        are trying to decode eye movements or muscle activity), but paper reviewers may
+        not be convinced by that.
+
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    resample_to : float | None = None
+        Optionally resample to this sampling rate (in Hz) before processing.
+        Good choices are 200, 250, 256 Hz (consider keeping it a power of two
+        if it was originally), but one may go as low as 100-128 Hz if memory, compute,
+        or model complexity limitations demand it.
+    flatline_maxdur : float | None
+        Remove channels that are flat for longer than this duration (in seconds).
+        This stage is almost never triggered in practice but can help with the
+        occasional strange EEG configuration.
+    highpass_frequencies : tuple[float, float] | None
+        Tuple of lower and upper bound of the *transition band* for high-pass filtering
+        before processing. This means that full suppression will be reached at the
+        lower bound, and the upper bound is where the passband begins.
+    bad_channel_corr_threshold : float | None
+        Threshold for correlation-based bad channel detection. A good default range
+        is 0.75-0.8. Becomes quite aggressive at and beyond 0.8; also, consider using
+        lower values (eg 0.7-0.75) for <32ch EEG and higher (0.8-0.85) for >128ch.
+    burst_removal_cutoff : float | None
+        Amplitude threshold for burst artifact removal using ASR
+        (Artifact Subspace Reconstruction). This parameter tends to have a large effect
+        on the performance of downstream ML. 10-15 is a good range for ML pipelines
+        (lower is more aggressive); for neuroscience analysis, more conservative values
+        like 20-30 may be better. The unit is z-scores relative to a Gaussian component
+        of background EEG, but real EEG can be super-Gaussian, thus the large values.
+    bad_window_max_bad_channels : float | None
+        Threshold for rejection of bad time windows based on fraction of simultaneously
+        noisy channels. Lower is more aggressive. Typical values are 0.15 (quite
+        aggressive) to 0.3 (quite lax).
+    bad_channel_reinterpolate : bool
+        Whether to reinterpolate bad channels that were detected and removed. Usually
+        required when doing cross-session analysis (to have a consistent channel set).
+    common_avg_ref : bool
+        Whether to apply a common average reference after processing. Recommended
+        when doing cross-study analysis to have a consistent referencing scheme.
+    bad_channel_hf_threshold : float
+        Threshold for high-frequency (>=45 Hz) noise-based bad channel detection,
+        in z-scores. Lower is more aggressive. Default is 4.0. This is rarely tuned,
+        but data with unusual higher-frequency activity could benefit from exploration
+        in the 3.5-5.0 range.
+    bad_channel_max_broken_time : float
+        Max fraction of session length during which a channel may be bad before
+        it is removed. Default is 0.4 (40%), max is 0.5 (breakdown point of stats).
+        Pretty much never tuned.
+    bad_window_tolerances : tuple[float, float]
+        (min, max) z-score tolerance for identifying bad time window/channel pairs.
+        This typically does not need to be changed (instead one may change the max
+        bad channels that cross this threshold), but different implementations
+        use different values here. The max value is the main parameter, where
+        EEGLAB/EEGPrep uses 7 while the original pipeline [1] used 5.5, and NeuroPype
+        uses 6. Lower values are more aggressive. The min value is only triggered if the
+        EEG data has signal dropouts (very low amplitude, e.g. due to something becoming
+        unplugged) which is rare; some choices are (-inf, EEGPrep; -3.5, BCILAB;
+        -4 NeuroPype).
+    refdata_max_bad_channels : float | None
+        Same function as bad_window_max_bad_channels, but used only to determine
+        calibration data for burst removal. Usually more aggressive than the former
+        (0.05-0.1) to get clean calibration data. This can be set to None to skip this
+        and force all data to be used for calibration.
+    refdata_max_tolerances : tuple[float, float]
+        Same as bad_window_tolerances, but used only to determine calibration data for
+        burst removal. Almost never touched, and defaults to a fairly aggressive
+        (-inf, 5.5) to get clean calibration data.
+    num_samples : int
+        Number of channel subsets to draw for the RANSAC reconstruction during bad
+        channel identification. Higher can be more robust but slower to calibrate.
+        Default is 50.
+    subset_size : float
+        Size of channel subsets for RANSAC, as fraction (0-1) or count. Default 0.25.
+        For higher-density EEG (e.g., 64-128ch), one can achieve somewhat better
+        robustness to clusters of bad channels by setting this to 0.15 and increasing
+        num_samples to 200.
+    bad_channel_nolocs_threshold : float
+        A fallback correlation threshold for bad-channel removal that is applied when
+        no channel location information is available. The value here typically needs to
+        be fairly low, e.g., 0.45-0.5 (lower is more aggressive). Ideally you have
+        channel locations so that this fallback is not needed.
+    bad_channel_nolocs_exclude_frac : float
+        A fraction of most correlated channels to exclude in the case where no channel
+        location information is available. Used to reject pairs of shorted or otherwise
+        highly correlated sets of bad channels.
+    max_mem_mb : int
+        Max memory that ASR can use, in MB. Larger values can reduce overhead during
+        processing, but usually 64MB is sufficient.

+    MNE has its resampling routine (use as `Preprocessor("resample", sfreq=rate)`)

+
+    It's not necessarily clear which of the two implementations is "better" (likely

+
+    Resampling can be placed quite early in a preprocessing pipeline to cut down on

+
+    This is an automated artifact rejection function which ensures that the data
+    contains no channels that record only noise for extended periods of time. This uses
+    a hybrid criterion involving correlation and high-frequency noise thresholds:
+
+    a) if a channel has lower correlation to its robust estimate (based on other
+       channels) than a given threshold for a minimum period of time (or percentage of
+       the recording), it will be removed.
+    b) if a channel has more (high-frequency) noise relative relative to the (robust)
+       population of other channels than a given threshold (in standard deviations),
+       it will be removed.
+
+    This method requires channels to have an associated location; when a location
+    is not known or could not be inferred (e.g., from channel labels if using a standard
+    montage such as the 10-20 system), use the :class:`RemoveBadChannelsNoLocs`
+    preprocessor instead.
+
+    Preconditions:
+
+    - One of :class:`RemoveDrifts` or :class:`braindecode.preprocessing.Filter` (
+      configured as a highpass filter) must have been applied beforehand.
+    - 3D channel locations must be available in the data (can be automatic with some
+      file types, but may require some MNE operations with others).
+    - Consider applying :class:`RemoveDCOffset` beforehand as a general precaution.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    corr_threshold : float
+        Correlation threshold. If a channel over a short time window is correlated at
+        less than this value to its robust estimate (based on other channels), it is
+        considered abnormal during that time. A good default range is 0.75-0.8 and the
+        default is 0.8. Becomes quite aggressive at and beyond 0.8; also, consider
+        using lower values (eg 0.7-0.75) for <32ch EEG and higher (0.8-0.85) for >128ch.
+        This is the main tunable parameter of the method.
+    noise_threshold : float
+        Threshold for high-frequency (>=45 Hz) noise-based bad channel detection,
+        in robust z-scores (i.e., st. devs.). Lower is more aggressive. Default is 4.0.
+        This is rarely tuned, but data with unusual higher-frequency activity could
+        benefit from exploration in the 3.5-5.0 range.
+    window_len : float
+        Length of the time windows (in seconds) for which correlation statistics
+        are computed; ideally short enough to reasonably capture periods of global
+        artifacts or intermittent sensor dropouts, but not shorter (for statistical
+        reasons). Default is 5.0 sec.
+    subset_size : float
+        Size of random channel subsets to compute robust reconstructions. This can be
+        given as a fraction (0-1) of the total number of channels, or as an absolute
+        number. Multiple (pseudo-)random subsets are sampled in a RANSAC-like process
+        to obtain a robust reference estimate for each channel. Default is 0.25 (25% of
+        channels). For higher-density EEG (e.g., 64-128ch) with potential clusters
+        of bad channels, one can achieve somewhat better robustness by setting this
+        to 0.15 and increasing num_samples to 200.
+    num_samples : int
+        Number of samples generated for the robust channel reconstruction. This is the
+        number of samples to generate in a RANSAC-like process. The larger
+        this value, the more robust but also slower the initial identification of
+        bad channels will be. Default is 50.
+    max_broken_time : float
+        Maximum time (either in seconds or as fraction of the recording) during which
+        a channel is allowed to have artifacts. If a channel exceeds this, it will be
+        removed. Not usually tuned. Default is 0.4 (40%), max is 0.5 (breakdown point

+    EEG signal during these time periods.
+
+    Preconditions:
+
+    - One of :class:`RemoveDrifts` or :class:`braindecode.preprocessing.Filter` (
+      configured as a highpass filter) must have been applied beforehand.
+    - Must have removed flat-line channels beforehand with :class:`RemoveFlatChannels`.
+    - If you are removing bad channels (:class:`RemoveBadChannels` or
+      :class:`RemoveBadChannelsNoLocs`), use those before this step.
+    - Consider applying :class:`RemoveDCOffset` beforehand as a general best practice.
+    - If you are re-referencing to common average (:class:`RemoveCommonAverageReference`),
+      this should normally *NOT* be done before this step, but after it.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    cutoff : float
+        Threshold for artifact rejection. Data portions whose variance is larger than
+        this threshold relative to the calibration data are considered artifactual
+        and removed. There is a fair amount of literature on what constitutes a good
+        value. 7.5 is very aggressive, 10-15 is a good range for ML pipelines, 20-30
+        is more forgiving and is more common in neuroscience applications. The unit is
+        z-scores relative to a Gaussian component of background EEG, but since EEG
+        phenomena of interest can stand out from the Gaussian background, typical
+        thresholds are considerably larger than for a purely Gaussian distribution.
+        Default is 10.0.
+    window_len : float | None
+        Length of the statistics window in seconds. Should not be much longer
+        than artifact timescale. The number of samples in the window should
+        be >= 1.5x channels. Default: max(0.5, 1.5 * nbchan / srate).
+    step_size : int | None
+        Step size for processing in samples. The reconstruction matrix is updated every
+        this many samples. If None, defaults to window_len / 2 samples.
+    max_dims : float
+        Maximum dimensionality/fraction of dimensions to reconstruct. Default: 0.66.
+        This can be understood to be the number of simultaneous artifact components that
+        may be removed; normally needs no tuning, but on very low-channel data (e.g.,
+        4ch) one may exploring small integers between 1 and #channels-1.
+    ref_maxbadchannels : float | None
+        Parameter that controls automatic calibration data selection. This represents
+        the max fraction (0-1) of bad channels tolerated in a window for it to be used
+        as calibration data. Lower is more aggressive (e.g., 0.05). Default: 0.075.
+        The parameter has the same meaning as the max_bad_channels parameter in the
+        RemoveBadWindows preprocessor, but note that this stage is used here as a
+        subroutine to identify calibration data only. The overall method will always
+        output a data matrix of the same shape as the input data. If set to None,
+        all data is used for calibration.
+    ref_tolerances : tuple[float, float]
+        Power tolerances (lower, upper) in SDs from robust EEG power for a channel to
+        be considered 'bad' during calibration data selection. This parameter goes hand
+        in hand with ref_maxbadchannels. Default: (-inf, 5.5).
+    ref_wndlen : float
+        Window length in seconds for calibration data selection granularity.
+        Default: 1.0.
+    maxmem : int
+        Maximum memory (in MB) to use during processing. Larger values can reduce
+        overhead during processing, but usually 64MB is sufficient.

+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    max_bad_channels : int | float
+        Threshold for rejection of bad time windows based on fraction of simultaneously
+        noisy channels. This is the main tuning parameter; lower is more aggressive.
+        Typical values are 0.15 (quite aggressive) to 0.3 (quite lax). Can also be
+        specified as an absolute number of channels. Default is 0.25 (25% of channels).
+    zthresholds : tuple(float, float)
+        (min, max) z-score tolerance for identifying bad time window/channel pairs.
+        This typically does not need to be changed (instead one may change the max
+        bad channels that cross this threshold), but different implementations
+        use different values here. The max value is the main parameter, where
+        EEGLAB/EEGPrep uses 7 while the original pipeline [1] used 5.5, and NeuroPype
+        uses 6. Lower values are more aggressive. The min value is only triggered if the
+        EEG data has signal dropouts (very low amplitude, e.g. due to something becoming
+        unplugged) which is rare; some choices are (-inf, EEGPrep; -3.5, BCILAB;
+        -4, NeuroPype).
+    window_len : float
+        The window length that is used to check the data for artifact content, in
+        seconds. This is ideally as long as the expected time scale of the artifacts,
+        but short enough for there to be enough windows to compute statistics over.
+        Default is 1.0 sec, but this may be lowered to 0.5 sec to catch very brief
+        artifacts.
+    window_overlap : float
+        Fractional overlap between consecutive windows (0-1). Higher overlap
+        finds more artefacts but is slower. Default is 0.66 (about 2/3 overlap).
+    max_dropout_fraction : float
+        Maximum fraction of windows that may have arbitrarily low amplitude
+        (e.g. sensor unplugged). Default is 0.1.
+    min_clean_fraction : float
+        Minimum fraction of windows expected to be clean (essentially
+        uncontaminated EEG). Default is 0.25.
+    truncate_quant : tuple(float, float)
+        Quantile range of the truncated Gaussian to fit (default (0.022,0.6)).
+    step_sizes : tuple(float, float)
+        Grid-search step sizes in quantiles for lower/upper edge. Default is (0.01,0.01)
+    shape_range : sequence(float)
+        Range for the beta shape parameter in the generalised Gaussian used
+        for distribution fitting. Default is np.arange(1.7, 3.6, 0.15).
