[FieldTrip] Permutation statistics

Dear Vitoria,

Thanks for the tip.

I'm trying to perform a within-trial analysis.

I've got two sets of data, before and after resting state EEG activity.
First set has 54 trials and second set has 51 trials. Hence, my cfg.design
= [ones(1, 105); ones(1,54), ones(1,51)*2].

I've set up the statistical analysis like this:

    cfg = [];
    cfg.layout = lay;
    cfg.channel = 'all';
    cfg.latency = 'all';
    cfg.trials = 'all';
    cfg.frequency = 'all';
    cfg.avgovertime = 'no';
    cfg.avgoverfreq = 'no';
    cfg.avgoverchan = 'no';
    cfg.parameter = 'powspctrm';
    cfg.method = 'montecarlo';
    cfg.statistic = 'depsamplesT';
    cfg.numrandomization = 1000;
    cfg.design = design;
    cfg.uvar = 1;
    cfg.ivar = 2;

    [stat] = ft_freqstatistics(cfg, post_c200freq, pre_c200freq);

However, I got an error message:

Error using ft_statfun_depsamplesT (line 84)
Invalid specification of the design array.

Error in ft_statistics_montecarlo (line 285)
  [statobs, cfg] = statfun(cfg, dat, design);

Error in ft_freqstatistics (line 323)
  [stat, cfg] = statmethod(cfg, dat, cfg.design);

Can someone please tell me what parameters did I specify wrongly? Thanks.

Best wishes,
Hweeling
