Hi Jia,

In principle: yes, that is what you should be doing. However, Matlab
provides some nice 'syntactic sugar' to achieve this much more easily
than typing it all in 'by hand'.

If you have collected your subjects in one big cell array [1]:

allsubj = {};
allsubj{1} = data_subj1;
allsubj{2} = data_subj2;
...

then you can use a (somewhat peculiar) Matlab syntax known as a
'comma-separated list' [2] (yes, the name of that syntax sounds pretty
intuitive, but intuitions are a bit deceiving here):

grandavg = ft_sourcegrandaverage(cfg, allsubj{:});

Hope that helps.

Best,
Eelke
