> The Simple Binary (.raw) files don't get corrected for gain when imported (I helped write them).  I've experienced occasional unpredictable bugs with NetStation export routines where the files are generated with amplitudes many times too large, even with text format files.  It's a bit disconcerting to say the least.  I could take a look at your files if you'd like confirmation.

You can just look at a random participant's data, and check if the scale is the same. I'm pretty sure no amplification takes place when reading in the data into FieldTrip, this check can confirm that. Hope this helps, and let us know what you find.

In case they are, I suggest to involve EGI support. They are aware of the FieldTrip reading functions and will know much more about the internals of their various file formats.
