Neuromag event values

[Christian Hesse]

Hi,

FT automatically extracts trigger values (onset and offset) from
channel STI014. I am not 100% sure why the values are scaled as they
are (it is what is written in the file), but it turns out that if you
divide all your trigger values by the "magnitude of the smallest non-
zero trigger value" you will have nice integers again. Alternatively
you could just tell trialfun to look for the funny trigger values.

Hope this helps,
Christian
