Hi Kamil,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I suggest that you put a breakpoint in the code, on line 89 of the function ft_nirs_optodedistance, and check what is going on. This is a generic strategy that I always use when any matlab code throws an error. This namely allows you to inspect
the function’s workspace at the point at which the faulty line will be executed. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The reported error message is a low-level matlab error, which suggests that the number of elements in the vector ‘posidx’ (i.e. the left side of the =-sign) is different from the number of elements of the idxR and idXT vectors (i.e. on the right
side of the =-sign). Given the fact that the code that is executing in line 89, is within a for-loop, and the fact that posIdx is the actual loop-variable, this is just a single value, which - from a distance (pun intended) - probably means that the idxR/idxT
are either empty, or contain more than a single element. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Given that those quantities are derived from the ‘label’, and ‘olabel’ variables, which are defined on lines 67 and 68, this suggests that the code cannot handle well the way in which the datain.label, and the datain.opto.optolabel relate to one
another. Once you have acertained that this is indeed the cause of your problem, you need to think about whether the discrepancy arises from your data (i.e. the naming convention of the labels is not how it should be), or whether the heuristic that is used
in the code should be improved. If it is the latter, I suggest that you get in touch with the artinis folks (who contributed this part of the fieldtrip code) in order to look into this.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Best wishes,</div>
