electrode load and clusterrandanalysis

[Michael Wibral]

Hi Charles,
if your code literally contains: 

load ('elec');

that will not work, for sure. The reason is, that you are trying to read a file (via MATLAB's load command) named "elec" in the current directory, which almost certainly does not exist. 
Try something like:
elec = read_fcdc_elec('HGSN_129_NoFids.sfp');
and then add this as a field to the relevant data structures, like this

femfeat{i}.elec=elec
...
...

This way you'll be doing an electrode name based averaging over subjects. 
It may be better - since you have all the individual digitized electrode positions as .sfp files (do you?) - to export everything into a virtual BESA standard montage (81 ch in average reference is the most popular option) and then to fieldtrip, as this will take into account the different electrode positions in the different subjects (but we can leave that for later, let's first get the above running :-)...).
