[FieldTrip] problem using ft_artifact_muscle

Hi all,



I am a fieldtrip starter working on an EEG data set. I have a question
concerning
the muscle artifact detection function and I was hoping that you could help
me with this.

I am calling the function

[cfg,artifact_muscle]  = ft_artifact_muscle(cfg,ref_data)  as explained in
the manual (settings suggested) and get the following error message (see
code + error):

________________________________________________________________________________________________

However, I only get the error message with the default/suggested values.

When I use:

cfg.artfctdef.muscle.bpfreq = [110 120]; and
cfg.artfctdef.muscle.bpfiltord  = 7;

I don't get the error message and the script runs properly. Does anyone
happen to know what could have let to this problem?



Thanks a lot in advance!

Best, Leonie
