[FieldTrip] channelrepair issue

[Jim Li]

Hi Odelia,

Yes, I downloaded the latest version of Fieldtrip and tried your suggestion
"cfg.neighbourdist = 0.03",   but it still weirdly uses the far-away
channels like A121 to do the channel-repair for A234 (these two channels are
24.1172cm apart!).  Here is the detail:

---------------------------
cfg                         = [];
cfg.dataset                 = 'e,rfhp0.1Hz';
cfg.trialdef.eventtype      = 'TRIGGER';
cfg.trialdef.eventvalue     = 320;
cfg.trialdef.prestim        = 1;
cfg.trialdef.poststim       = 1;
cfg                         = ft_definetrial(cfg);
cfg.blc                     = 'yes';                              % do
baseline correction with the complete trial
cfg.blcwindow               = [-1 0];
cfg.channel                 = {'MEG'};
raw_DATA                    = ft_preprocessing(cfg);


cfg = [];
cfg.badchannel = {'A234'};
cfg.neighbourdist =  0.03;
[raw_DATA] = ft_channelrepair(cfg, raw_DATA)

---------------------------------------------------------------------

And here is the outcome: -----------------------------

the input is raw data with 248 channels and 201 trials
repairing channel A234
  using neighbour A121
  using neighbour A143
  using neighbour A173
  using neighbour A8
repairing bad channels for trial 1
repairing bad channels for trial 2
repairing bad channels for trial 3
repairing bad channels for trial 4
repairing bad channels for trial 5
repairing bad channels for trial 6
repairing bad channels for trial 7
repairing bad channels for trial 8
repairing bad channels for trial 9
repairing bad channels for trial 10
....

-------------------------

Thank you.

Jim
