[FieldTrip] Undefined function or variable "lab"

[Schoffelen, J.M. (Jan Mathijs)]

Hi Ervin,

Given the information provided, it’s still hard to tell what might be going on. What version of FieldTrip are you using, and what does dataTarget.elec look like? What do your colleagues have to say about this? (The reason for the last question is, that they most likely have most hands-on experience with the quirks of the particular dataformat you are working with, and thus will be able to provide more specific input than the people who occasionally read posts on this list).
Also, the statement that an ‘older version of fieldtrip works’ is quite unspecific (e.g. are your colleagues using a 2009-version of the code, or a more recent one :o)? Is there code totally unmodified, or did they made some code changes in order for it to work?), so I don’t think that this is going to bring you close to a solution. Yet, I think it is good diagnostic information to know that somewhere in the past ‘it’ seemed to work, either with or without local changes. Would it make sense for you to team up with your colleagues to find on what’s going on?

Best,
Jan-Mathijs

Anyone an idea of what might be wrong here?
Much appreciated,

Subject: [FieldTrip] Undefined function or variable "lab"

Hello fieldtrippers,

I am trying to prepare my EEG data for analysis. Among others, I identify bad channels and try to repair them. However, there is this annoying error:

Undefined function or variable "lab".

Error in channelposition (line 314)
n   = size(lab,2);

Error in ft_datatype_sens (line 329)
        [chanpos, chanori, lab] = channelposition(sens);

Error in ft_datatype_raw (line 146)
      data.elec = ft_datatype_sens(data.elec);

Error in ft_checkdata (line 225)
  data = ft_datatype_raw(data, 'hassampleinfo', hassampleinfo);

Error in ft_channelrepair (line 102)
data = ft_checkdata(data, 'datatype', 'raw', 'feedback', 'yes');

In the debug mode I see that the variable 'sens' has a correct value, the bad channel seems to be identified, but then for some reason, lab is not filled. I am copy-pasting that part of my code below.
I hope someone has experience with this and how to solve it. Some of my colleagues use an older fieldtrip version that works (so, no error there), and I compared the filein s ft_checkdata, ft_datatype_sens and ft_datatype_sens, they are different, but it is not obvious to me what exactly is new, causing the error.

Many thanks,
Ervin

My code:

%% channel rejection, identifying bad channels for target condition
cfg=[];
cfg.method = 'mtmfft';
cfg.output = 'pow';
cfg.taper  = 'hanning';
cfg.foi = [50];% frequency band - foilim or just foi??
rejectedData=ft_freqanalysis(cfg,dataTarget);

idx=unique([find(rejectedData.powspctrm>0.5*10^4)]); %this threshold might change for each recording
neighbours=open('/Users/Ervin/Documents/MATLAB/biosemi64_neighb.mat');
neighbours=neighbours.neighbours;
cfg = [];
cfg.channel  = rejectedData.label;
cfg.layout = 'biosemi64.lay';
cfg.feedback = 'yes';
lay = ft_prepare_layout(cfg);

if ~isempty(idx)
badchannels=cell(numel(idx),1);
[badchannels{1:numel(idx),1}] = deal(rejectedData.label{idx});

% Interpolation for rejected channels
cfg=[];
cfg.layout=lay;
cfg.badchannel=badchannels;
dataTarget.elec.label = dataTarget.label;
dataTarget.elec.pnt = lay.pos;
cfg.neighbours=neighbours;
dataTargetRepaired=ft_channelrepair(cfg, dataTarget);
end
