[FieldTrip] Importing .ses files

[Ingrid Sör]

Dear Debora,

Thank you very much for your help. I obviously didn't look into the 
exporting alternative properly! It definitely sounds like the best 
solution. At the moment I don't have access to NeurOne, but I will try 
it out when I do.

Thanks again.
Best,
Ingrid
