[FieldTrip] How do you prevent ft_resample from filtering your trigger channels?

[Rodrigo Montefusco]

Dear Aaron,

Note that the decimation process is indeed the use of a low-pass filter and
subsequent downsampling. As you may already know, this is to avoid
aliasing. Otherwise is just an interpolation.

"Decimation reduces the original sampling rate for a sequence to a lower
rate, the opposite of interpolation. The decimation process filters the
input data with a lowpass filter and then resamples the resulting smoothed
signal at a lower rate."


Best,

Rodrigo
