[FieldTrip] Issues with ft_combineplanar(cfg, data)

[Niccolò Pescetelli]

Thank you Eelke.

I found out that the problem was before calling the combine planar function. 
The original script read in 5 files of raw data (which I could not upload in dropbox, due to dimensions issues). These have the .grad field, but when I appenddata() the data structure looses its grad field.

I managed to artificially attach it again, but I don't understand why the function ft_appenddata() does this
Any idea? 

I will try to send you the files in a way or the other

Best

Nic

Dear Nic,

That is very weird. The fact that a grad seems to be created out of
thin air by ft_combineplanar suggests to me that there might be an
error in your script. (However, of course it could also be a bug in
fieldtrip.) Could you perhaps send a functional (small) piece of data,
along with a script, that reproduces the error? Your e-mail currently
does not have enough information to judge what's truly going on. If
your data is >1MB, please use one of the file sharing services listed
here: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/faq/how_should_i_send_example_data_to_the_developers

Best,
Eelke
