Hi fieldtrip developers,
I found a bug in fieldtrip/trialfun/ft_trialfun_brainvision_segmented.m.
If the Brain Vision marker file *.vmrk includes no 'Stimulus' makers,
the ft_trialfun_brainvision_segmented function crashes in line 116. The
reason for this crash is absence of the trialinfo variable.
In detail, if no 'Stimulus' is defined the numstim variable gets 0 (line
99), otherwise the query 'if all(numstim==numstim(1))' in line 100
results in true.
I would recommend to change line 100 to:
if ((numstim > 0 ) && (all(numstim==numstim(1))))
Hereby the else branch will be executed, if numstim = 0.
Furthermore, the mentioned function also crashes, if the stimulus
markers in the marker file either have no value or a value with wrong
letters. This cases should be captured with a more obvious error message.
All the best,
Daniel
