[FieldTrip] Error -> ft_databrowser

[Raquel Bibi]

Another way of knowing sample information is to include it again in the trl definition of your trial function so that the 4th  ( any column after the first three) column reads event(i).sample.  The information will always be available in the trialinfo field of the data.

The reason for this is that a specific segment in time is defined twice in your data, and it is not clear what segment it is you would like to look at (due to filter artifacts and other preprocessing steps, the data will most likely have different values for the same sample points). For non-continuous data (already preprocessed data), it should be able to implement this nonetheless, but that's on our todo list. The best way for now is to call ft_redefinetrial and cut out the overlapping segments.

There is no way that the reconstructed sample numbers can be traced back to your original data! (well... if your programming skills are reasonable enough, it is possible, but that requires some further hacking, and a lot of effort).

So basically, i do not know any scientific solution.

I used ft_databrowser many times and its only last 2 days that i am getting the error. I downloaded a newer version of fieldtrip (fieldtrip-20120130)                               and used the newer version but still the same error. Strangely, i dont get this error when i tried with other computers (same matlab version (R2010a), same operating system (windows 7) on both computers. Has anyone got this error before? what may cause this error?
