Hi Paul,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Related to the specific error message (which does not seem to have anything to do with the actual test-statistic that you specified): Are you sure that the input into ft_timelockstatistics is correctly formatted? The error message suggests that
there is no ‘observation’ dimension, i.e. that the individual subjects are not ‘available’.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Unrelated to this, are you sure that you want to use the ‘actvsblT’ for the statistical comparison? I have never used this function myself, but reading the low-level code, line 85 ft_statfun_actvsblT throws an error if the input data is not a
time-frequency representation, i.e. it suggests that this function has been written to be only applied to spectral data. You mention that you want to do a(n as of yet underspecified statistical inferential test - e.g. what’s the null hypothesis to be tested)
on ERP data.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> Good luck,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
