comment 1:
the data structure also needs a (local) time axis for each trial:

data.time = cell(Ntrial,1)
for i=1:Ntrial
	data.time{i} = [trial_start:dt:trial_stop];
	% trial_start could be -1.5 seconds
	% trial_stop could be 3.0 seconds
	% dt = 1./data.fsample;
end

comment 2:
NTrialSamp is NOT the number of trials (NTrial = 40) but instead
refers to the "Number_of_time_samples_per_trial" which is determined
by the duration of the trial in seconds (TrialDuration) and your
sampling frequency FSample:

NTrialSamp = TrialDuration*FSample;
% this can in principle be different for each trial

% so you have
data.trial = cell(Ntrial,1)
for i=1:Ntrial
	data.trial{i} = X;
	% where X is a Nchan x NTrialSamp matrix containing the data from
each trial
end


comment 3:
Your question essentially is: How do youI get X from what you have
read into Matlab?


To answer this, you need to tell me what sort of variable your data
are stored in once they have been read into Matlab. You can load your
data in and then type "whos" at the command prompts and email me what
is displayed on the screen after you press <ENTER>


Kind Regards,
Christian
