Reading brainvision dat files

[Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen]

Dear Roman,

I don't have a lot of experience dealing with brainvision files in  
fieldtrip, but it looks as though there's something going wrong with  
the allocation of the data matrix. Apparently, one of the input  
arguments into the function zeros(), is either not a number, or  
infinite. This means, that either the quantity endsample-begsmaple+1  
is behaving strangely, or that the hdr.NumberOfChannels is faulty,  
which would point to a problem reading in the header information from  
your datafile.

Best,

jan-Mathijs

The aim of this list is to facilitate the discussion between users of the FieldTrip  toolbox, to share experiences and to discuss new ideas for MEG and EEG analysis. See also http://listserv.surfnet.nl/archives/fieldtrip.html and http://www.ru.nl/neuroimaging/fieldtrip.
