[FieldTrip] from trials to continuous and an error in selfromraw

[Eelke Spaak]

Hi Ben,

The cfg.trials option for ft_freqanalysis refers to which trials
should be used in the computation of the output. By default,
ft_freqanalysis returns the average over all those trials. If you want
to get estimates for each individual trial, you should specify
cfg.keeptrials = 'yes'. (See also
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/reference/ft_freqanalysis .) I am not
sure if ft_singleplotTFR will give you plots for individual trials,
though; I think it will do the averaging anyway. To get individual
trial plots, you probably have to call the plotting function several
times with cfg.trials = 1, 2, 3, etc.

Regarding cfg.trials = '1', it is important to use just a regular
scalar quantity, and not a string, so cfg.trials = 1.

Best,
Eelke
