[FieldTrip] a .mat file about meg data do preprocessing

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Dear Xiao,

Somehow your channel names seem to not be recognized by FieldTrip, and 
then it reverts to default channel names (chan001, chan002, ...). You 
will see that data_org.label will have those channel labels. 
Subsequently, you define in the cfg for timelockanalysis channel names 
that are not in your data (your channels are called chanXXX, not MEGXXXX 
now), and FieldTrip thus does not perform the operation on any channel.
I don't know much about EEGLAB and how it is integrated with FieldTrip - 
there should be an eeglab2fieldtrip function though in 
fieldtrip/external/eeglab. Maybe you can try this, or maybe someone else 
here knows why your channel labels do not get copied over to FieldTrip 
correctly.

Good luck :)
Best,
Jörn
