[FieldTrip] Amplifier for EGI-data in fieldtrip???

[Daria Laptinskaya]

Thanks you all for the answers!
It seems to be a problem with reading the raw.-files.
My collegue found a formula, maybe we can use it for microvolt-scaling.

@Joe: It would be a great helf, if you could have a look at one of the
files.
Can I send you a dropbox-link?

Best,
Daria
