[FieldTrip] Spatio-temporal cluster-based permutation analysis on EEG sources

[Emma Holmes]

Hi Nietzsche,

That's much clearer--thanks for your help. It seems as though I should have
entered my sources estimates into data.pow.avg rather than data.avg.

However, I am still getting an error.

My data is structured:
data = <20x1 cell>                                % one cell array for each
participant, n=20
data{i}.pos = [902629x3  double]            % x,y,z positions
data{i}.dim = [91 109 91]
data{i}.time = [1 x 11 double]                 % vector of time points
data{i}.pow.avg = [902629 x 11 double]    % source estimates

When I try:
     grandavgA = ft_sourcegrandaverage(cfg, data{:});

I get the error message:

     ??? Error using ==> ft_checkdata>fixsource at 1259
     the input does not contain an avg or trial field

     Error in ==> ft_checkdata at 650
       data = fixsource(data, 'type', sourcerepresentation);

     Error in ==> ft_sourcegrandaverage at 107
       varargin{i} = ft_checkdata(varargin{i}, 'datatype', {'source'},
'feedback', 'no',
       'inside', 'logical', 'sourcerepresentation', 'new');

It appears as though the function is searching for a data{i}.avg or
data{i}.trial field. What data should these fields contain?
The wiki (http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/reference/ft_datatype_source) seems
to state that these are "historical" fields, although I have updated to
fieldtrip-20141030 (the same error also occurs with older versions)

Best,
Emma
