[FieldTrip] error in filter_with_correction

[Teresa Madsen]

Did you also try searching the mailing list archives?  The same error has
come up a few times.
<https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Calculated+filter+coefficients+have+poles+on+or+outside+the+unit+circle%22+site:mailman.science.ru.nl/pipermail/fieldtrip/&filter=0>

What is your trial duration and sampling frequency?  You'll need several
seconds to get an accurate idea of what's going on in such low frequencies.

Have you tried just detrending and applying a 2 Hz low-pass filter?  It
seems like that might have essentially the same effect.

Hope one of those helps,
Teresa
