Hi Sreenivasan

The bandpass filter options in timelockanalysis have the same config as
those in preprocessing. If you open timelockanalysis in the editor, and
jump to the first comments after the initial help block (in my version
it is around line 42), you will see

% Undocumented options:
%   cfg.blc                = 'no' or 'yes'
%   cfg.blcwindow          = [begin end]
%   cfg.bpfilter           = 'no' or 'yes'
%   cfg.bpfreq             = [low high]
%   cfg.bpfiltord          = number giving the filter order
%   cfg.bpfilttype         = 'but' or 'fir'
% The filtering options are supported here only to compute the
covariance
% matrix in a specific frequency band while avoiding to do the
preprocessing many times.

I guess that that should suffice as explanation. Maybe some extra words
on why they are hidden as option: in preprocessing you can pad the
trial data with some extra data that also is read from the (continuous)
file. After this (optional) padding, the data is filtered. That means
that any filter artifacts will occur in the padded begin and end of the
datasegment, and those "pads" are again removed after filtering. In
timelockanalysis  it is not possible to pad the data any more, hence
filtering should preferably done when as much of the data is present.

best regards,
Robert
