Hello Fieldtrip Community,


I've been working on beamforming the MEG data collected from 16 subjects during a saccade task. This is my first time beamforming so I've been heavily relying on the tutorial.


When I collapse trials across subjects and do beamforming, I can get the ft_sourceplot commands to produce something that makes some sense. However, I need to be able to have the data separated by subject for ft_sourcestatistics. I've created structures that should work for this purpose and that look correct. However, the ".pow" from the Neural Activity Index calculation step ends up mostly "NaN" and partly "Inf" when I run the beamforming divided by subject.


Is this related to the number of trials per subject somehow (e.g., do I have too few? is there some kind of setting I need to change?)? Why is the ".pow" coming back "Inf" instead of a real number? Does anyone have suggestions for fixing this problem so that I don't get "Inf" anymore?


My code and raw data structure are attached.


Thank you,


Lindsey Tate
