Hi Patrick,

What you can do is use partial artifact rejection by calling ft_rejectarttifact with  cfg.artfctdef.reject = 'partial'. Then subsequently loop over the trials you get, and identify the ones (by looking at data.time{iTr}) that do not start at the time your trials normally start (this means it's a trial after an artifact). Finally, exclude those by using ft_redefinetrials.

For instance, if your trials start with t=0, then after ft_rejectartifact you can do something like:
ind_keep = zeros(length(data.trial),1); %allocate
for iTrl = 1:length(data.trial)
  if data.trial{iTrl}(1) ~= 0
    %this means it's a trial occurring AFTER an artifact
    ind_keep(iTrl) = false;
  else
   %this means it's a trial occurring BEFORE an artifact
    ind_keep(iTrl) = true;
  end
end

%only keep the trials before the artifact:
cfg = [];
cfg.trials = find(ind_keep);
data = ft_redefinetrial(cfg, data);

Hope this helps,
Ingrid

Dear all,

in the reference documentation it says "In case of partial artifact rejection, a minimum length of the
resulting sub-trials can be specified."
I'd like to reject the trial segment from the beginning of the artifact onwards to keep only the data before the artifact occurred.
But I don't want to append subtrials.
How can I do that in fieldtrip?
Many thanks for your help!

Best,
Patrick
