[FieldTrip] Using PPC method

[Julia Coopi]

Dear Andreas,

Thanks for your response, I am going through your suggestion. did you have
any problem regarding the appending spikes and lfp. I got this error:

Error using ft_appendspike (line 112)
could not find the trial information in the continuous data

thanks.
Julia

> Like here, I don't know why for timestamp,time and trial, there are same number of values. If I have one unit, 60 trials and focus on -0.5 s to 0.5 s around stimulus event, I think trial means which trial of the 60 trials has spikes in this 1 s. The time means time point of spikes located in the 1 s around stimulus for each trial. Is it correct? But what about the timestamp? It means from the beginning of recording to the end and has nothing to do with trials?
