problem w/ cfg.highlight using topoplot to show samples in sig clusters

Hi Ingrid,
Thank you for the answer.  The output of
cfg.highlight = find(pos_int==1|neg_int==-1) is in fact empty as you say, so
this might depend on giving the wrong sampling frequency in m? The data I
have is sampled at 600. So should m be then something like m= [1:30:600] if
my time window of interst is 0-500 ms?

I did find topoplot eventually and tried the different settings but I think the
problem is as you suggest with the inputs to the plot.

I use the within-subjects input to the statistics function given in the tutorial as:

cfg = [];
cfg.channel = {'MEG'};
cfg.latency = [0.0 0.5];                % so the effect shouldn't be outside this
                                                 % time interval, correct?
cfg.method = 'montecarlo';
cfg.statistic = 'depsamplesT';
cfg.clusteralpha = 0.05;
cfg.clusterstatistic = 'maxsum';
cfg.minnbchan = 2;
cfg.tail = 0;
cfg.clustertail = 0;
cfg.alpha = 0.05;
cfg.numrandomization = 500;
cfg.layout = 'CTF275.lay';

subj = 16;
design=zeros(2,2*subj);
for i = 1:subj
  design(1,i) = i;
end
for i = 1:subj
  design(1,subj+i) = i;
end
design(2,1:subj)        = 1;
design(2,subj+1:2*subj) = 2;

cfg.design   = design;
cfg.uvar  = 1;
cfg.ivar  = 2;

[stat] = timelockstatistics(cfg, grandavgID, grandavgUN);

Thank you for your help!

andy
