[FieldTrip] two events per trial

[Cecile Issard]

Hi Tineke,

My problem is that the triggers for the onset and the offset of the stimulus are the same…

Hi Cecile,

One option is to run ft_definetrial two times.

First you specify only your onset triggers as cfg.trialdef.eventvalue, with the correct cfg.trialdef.prestim, and a random cfg.trialdef.poststim (e.g. 1).
Then you run
cfg_begin=ft_definetrial(cfg)
This gives you cfg_begin.trl which specifies the onset sample points of the trial in the first column, and the offset sample points of the trial in the second column (e.g. 1 second later, but you'll overwrite this later).

Now you specify only your offset triggers as cfg.trialdef.eventvalue, with cfg.trialdef.prestim=0.
You run:
cfg_offset=ft_definetrial(cfg)
This gives you cfg_offset.trl, with the first column being the offset sample points in your data.

Now you make your final trl, in which you replace the second column of cfg_begin with the first one of cfg_offset

trl=cfg_begin.trl;
for i=1:size(cfg_offset.trl)
  trl(i,2)=cfg_offset.trl(i,1);
end

For ft_preprocessing you then give cfg.trl=trl.

Best,
Tineke

Hello,

How can I specify that I have two events per trial (one for the onset and one for the offset of the stimulus) so that ft_definetrial finds the right (two times less) number of trials ?

Best,

C?cile
