[FieldTrip] ft_spikedensity

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Dear Santiago,

maybe you forgot to call ft_defaults prior to doing anything with 
Fieldtrip? Fieldtrip has an own nearest function, which needs *at least* 
two input arguments. Calling ft_defaults should add the necessary paths 
so that Matlab knows which nearest function to use.
You can also easily verify this by calling
which nearest
in the command window. If this refers to a Fieldtrip function, you are 
fine. However, from what you describe, the path is not set correctly and 
this will refer to some function outside Fieldtrip.

Best,
Jörn
