[FieldTrip] High-pass filter - 0.1

[Roey Schurr]

Dear Emilie,

Try reading this thread and see if it helps:
http://mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/2012-June/005360.html

The bottom line is, if you want a low highpass filer, you need to change
the order of the filter you're using.
In the example in the thread above, using a filter of order 5 helped Philipp
applying a 0.1 Hz highpass filter. So you could try using something like:
cfg.hpfiltord = 5;

Hope this helps!
Roey
