Hi Gerome,

Have a look at ft_apply_montage (http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/reference/ft_apply_montage), I think it will do what you want.

Best,

Jim

Thank you for your help everyone, the solution was fairly simple (although the datasets still don't quite match up) I adjusted the baseline window and also the filters as stated in the answers by Andreas, and Jim, and changed the reference -as stated by tzvetan these changes did the trick.

I do have one more question though that I couldn't quite find enough information on:

Is it possible to create and eletrode pool (for instance a new channel that is the average of some channels (eg: PO3, O1 and PO7) and have it added as a new channel (in a similar way that we can create new channels for eog).

Thanks again,
Gerome

Hi,

besides the already mentioned differences, you cannot easily replicate the Brainvision Analyzer Butterworth filters with Fieldtrip. The Analyzer internally adjusts filter order *and* cutoff frequency to compensate for two-pass filtering. The (onepass) filter order actually applied by Analyzer is half the requested order. You can correspondingly reduce filter order in Fieldtrip to replicate this behavior. The (onepass) filter cutoff frequency actually applied by Analyzer is undocumented. It is adjusted so that the requested cutoff has -3dB attenuation after *twopass* filtering. You can measure the -6dB cutoff (applicable in Fieldtrip) by feeding an impulse into Analyzer and checking the frequency response. This problem is discussed here in more detail:

Hope this helps,
Andreas

I have done most of the code but I get almost completely different results which is puzziling. Maybe some of the filteres are not defined properly- so if anyone has some time I would appreciate the help :-)
