[FieldTrip] possible bug when using old neuromas data with newer fieldtrip version

Hi JM and fieldtriplist in general,

Sorry to bother you all again, but I think JM was correct; there is an ‘adder under the grass’. 

Since the last email, I have re-read in my data using the newer version of fieldtrip. 

Now the script no longer fails during artifact rejection! The issue now appears during ft_plot_sens. It is the same issue as last time, where due to the sens.tra code (ft_plot_sens -> lines 336,337):

	poscoil = find(sens.tra(i,:)>0);
        negcoil = find(sens.tra(i,:)<0);

returning more than one element for both poscoil and negcoil, fieldtrip then produces an error. I believe this failure is occurring because this neuromag data was collected with active shielding. As a result I had to put the data through MaxFilter before reading it into fieldtrip (as the built in fiedltrip warning suggests). Is this correct? Below is a link to the sens array

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y2n0iq5ew2g42f0/sens_tra_russ.mat?dl=0 <https://www.dropbox.com/s/y2n0iq5ew2g42f0/sens_tra_russ.mat?dl=0>

Does anyone have suggestions on how to proceed with a sens.tra that returns multiple positive and negative coils?

Best,
Russ

I think there’s a backward compatibility clash, which is most likely due to the more fancy way in which sensors are defined these days. It could be that things are resolved if you upgrade your full analysis pipeline to a recent FT-version. Yet, I suspect an ‘adder under the grass’, as the Dutch saying goes…

I fully understand that if due to my past emails on the discussion list (and their lack of competence), my questions are no longer sent out. Alternatively, I was wondering if I should have sent this email to the bug tracker (though again I am not sure if it is actually a bug, or again my incompetence). I would really appreciate a confirmation, as I'm am currently held at my current step.

I am not completely sure the issue is not my own incompetence though. The error occurs when using a neuromag dataset that was read in with an old fieldtrip version (i.e. from 2015), and having it undergo ft_artifact_zvalue from a newer version of fieldtrip.
