[FieldTrip] Sample script for spike+LFP analysis?

[Stan van Pelt]

Hi Jay,

In addition to Eelke's reply, you may also find the examples in these
pages useful in creating your trial definition (cfg.trl):

_channel_and_use_that_as_trial_definition

Hi Jay,

A "trl" matrix is an Nx3 matrix that gives, for each of N trials, the
begin and end sample, and the 'offset' (shift in time axis to determine
t=0; offset=0 means begin sample will be t=0).

In typical cognitive experiments, such a matrix is generated by a call to
ft_definetrial, which in turn calls either a user-specified "trialfun" to
find events of interest in the data (recorded in a trigger channel), or
ft_trialfun_general. ft_trialfun_general is a simple trialfun that looks
for specified event values in a specified trigger channel, and creates
trials spanning from X seconds before the event to Y seconds after the
event. For using ft_definetrial, see this
tutorial: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial/preprocessing

If for any reason (e.g. you don't have triggers) you don't want to use
ft_definetrial, you can simply create a trl matrix yourself by specifying
the sample indices and offset.

Best,
Eelke
