[FieldTrip] Events in ANT data files

["Jörn M. Horschig"]

Hi Dave,

at least for my data, the events are stored in a separate trigger 
channel stored with the .trg file. Also, I don't have a .evt-file. The 
ft_read_events code reads in the name of the .cnt file and then searches 
for the corresponding .trg file to read in the trigger values and 
events. If no .trg file exists, it throws a warning. I don't think these 
triggers are read in from somewhere else. Maybe you can debug 
ft_read_events to find out what is happening in your case (open Matlab, 
type in 'edit ft_read_events', go to line 599 and add a breakpoint 
there, then execture your code)/

Best,
Jörn
