[FieldTrip] ft_databrowser & ft_rejectartifact - wrong number of trials rejected

[Schoffelen, J.M. (Jan Mathijs)]

Hi Christine,

Checking for the number of unique rows in the sampleinfo field does not ensure that the data are not overlapping.

e.g.

data.sampleinfo = [1 200;
                              100 300];

is a valid specification, and unique(data.sampleinfo, ‘rows’) gives 2, yet the samples are overlapping.

I don’t think the loss of chronology is causing the problem.

Best,
Jan-Mathijs

Dear Jan-Mathijs,

Many thanks for your swift response. You were right, I am losing the sampleinfo generatingtmpdata_small. However, even when I use the original data, i.e. data_segm_offsetcorr that includes the sampleinfo, the problem continues to occur. However, I now get the warning that samples are present in multiple trials. Checking the the number of unique rows indata_segm_offsetcorr.sampleinfo however finds the correct number of trials, it seems as if there were no doublings (which I would also not expect).

My trials are not in chronological order, though, but sorted according to data_segm_offsetcorr.trialinfo. May that confuse fieldtrip?

Best,
Christine

Hi Christine,

Are you sure that the tmpdata_small and data_segm_offsetcorr are consistent with respect to each other? As long as this is not the case, I am not surprised that fieldtrip ‘misbehaves’.

Good morning,

I discovered that using ft_databrowser & ft_rejectartifact to preprocess my EEG data, often the wrong number of trials is rejected. This is the code I am using and it inherits data resulting from ft_redefinetrial.

    cfg = [];
    cfg.latency = [-2 2]; % period of interest
    tmpdata_small = ft_selectdata(cfg,data_segm_offsetcorr);

    cfg = [];
    cfg.layout = layout2;
    cfg.showlabel = 'yes';
    cfg.channel = 'EEG';
    cfg.gradscale = 0.04;
    cfg.continuous = 'no';
    % filtering only for artifact rejection
    cfg.preproc.lpfilter  = 'yes';
    cfg.preproc.lpfreq = 40;

    cfg_databrowser = ft_databrowser(cfg, tmpdata_small);
    data_segm_offsetcorr = ft_rejectartifact(cfg_databrowser, data_segm_offsetcorr);

If I now, for example mark 10 trials in the databrowser and then run ft_rejectartifact, it tells me:

detected 10 visual artifacts
rejected 8 artifacts completely

Something seems to be wrong here as I clearly marked 10 artifacts (don't really care whether they are visual or not), but only 8 are removed. The problem gets worse when I call the function a second time, which is when usually none of the marked artefacts are rejected at all.

Any idea where the problem could be?

Many thanks!
Best,
Christine
