[FieldTrip] EEG Source Reconstruction - Interpolation by Trial?

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Dear Roey,

of course there is a way, actual several. I don't see a reason why you 
would want to do that though :) The interpolation purpose is mainly for 
plotting, not for performing fancy statistics or other analyses. In case 
you want to go to a finer spatial resolution, I'd do the reconstruction 
on a finer grid (and there, you will be faced with just physical and 
mathematical constraints in terms of spatial accuracy). That way, your 
reconstruction will be at least based on a physical model, not on some 
'weird' linear interpolation.

Anyway, to answer your question:
First, there is a cfg.parameter field, with which you can specify the 
parameter. If that does not work, the easiest way for you would be to go 
to the code of ft_sourceinterpolate at line 171, copy the lines up to 
184 and put these into your own function. You would need to change them 
appropriately, so that you loop over trials. As I said, there are other 
ways, but that would be the most elegant, fastest (computationally) and 
easiest to understand.

Best,
Jörn
