[FieldTrip] Help needed for reading a time series data

[Manik Gupta]

Dear Stan,

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I actually want to do a transfer entropy analysis using Trentool and for
that my data needs to be in the fieldtrip raw format.
I figured out how to use the data now and will get back to you in case of
more queries. Just a quick check, would you be able to provide any
assistance on Trentool as well.
and I would surely publish the results if they are encouraging enough!! :-)

Thanks once again,
Manik
