[FieldTrip] importing large edf data

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

Hi Leila (and Arjen):

I just tried this out with a sample file, it looks like you can get this
information if you use ft_read_header() rather than ft_preprocessing. The
cfg structure I got from ft_preprocessing didn't contain the time-of-day
information, but the structure returned from ft_read_header did:

>> hdr = ft_read_header( cfg.dataset ); hdr.orig.T0

ans =

        2005           9          15          10          18          42



I assume that's showing year, month, day, hour, minute (presumably based on
the clock of the computer that made the recording).

Best,
Steve
