[FieldTrip] import own format (long trials)

[gj]

In case anyone else is having the same problem, my mistake was how I set 
"data.time".

According to the FT Wiki, "data.time" should be a "cell-array containing 
a time axis for each trial (1 X Ntrial), each time axis is a 1*Nsamples 
vector"

but it should be in seconds and I had specified it in number of samples 
instead, which triggered the error

            Error using ft_specest_mtmfft (line 96)
            "the padding that you specified is shorter than the data
