[FieldTrip] Automatic artifact detection (no rejection)

[Philipp Taesler]

Hi Robin,

you are right, the comment in the function explicitly says:

% Contrary to the other artifact detection functions, this function
% will mark the whole trial as an artifact if the threshold is exceeded.
% Furthermore, this function does not support artifact- or filterpadding.

I didn't know that. Hmmm, then I guess your only option is to either
visually review the marked trials and unmark the ones you want to keep.
Another possibilty might be to use ft_redefinetrial to create a dataset
with shorter trials, run the rejection on this data, and use the
resulting artefact definitions for your original data. (Not sure if that
is straightforward, since I never did this myself).

Cheers,
Phil
