Clusterplot problem

Hi Matteo,

How do your ft_topoplot's look if you average over frequency and average
over time (averaging before baseline correcting)? That could be one of
the causes for your different outputs. I do not expect something to be
wrong with the stat.mask field as you mentioned, as it does fit really
well to the plotted t-value spectrum. Could you also post your
ft_topoplot and ft_clusterplot settings, just to be sure?

Best,
Roemer
