eeg reref

[Robert Oostenveld]

Hi Giosue,

With
   cfg.reref         = 'yes';
   cfg.refchannel    = 'TP10';
you re-reference the data to TP10 only, i.e. TP10 will be the new
reference channel by itself and therefore it is flat (all zeros).

Assuming that TP9 is the other channel that you want to use, you
should do
   cfg.reref         = 'yes';
   cfg.refchannel    = {'TP9' 'TP10'};
to obtain the data referenced to linked mastoids.

If TP9 is the actual reference channel that was used in the
recording, and if you did not include TP9 in the recorded datafile,
you should also specify
   cfg.implicitref = 'TP9'
This will first add the channel TP9 to the data (which is all zeros,
since it is referenced against itself) and subsequently it will use
TP9+TP10 as the new reference. You can check afterwards: the sum of
the potential in TP9 and TP10 should be zero.

best
Robert
