[FieldTrip] ft_redefinedata after pre-processing

[Blume Christine]

Dear Silvia,

Do I understand correctly that data_cue is epoched, but not pre-processed?

You can apply ft_rejectartifact after ft_redefinetrial. We usually pre-process continuous datasets and save the cfg of this pre-processing (in the example below cfg_myartifactrejection). Only then we epoch the data and apply this artifactrejection.

cfg=[];
cfg.trl=trl;                            # trl contains the trial definition of target-locked epochs

data_target = ft_redefinetrial (cfg, data_cue)

cfg = [];
data_target_clean = ft_rejectartifact(cfg_myartifactrejection, data_target);

I hope this helps…

Best,
Christine

Betreff: [FieldTrip] ft_redefinedata after pre-processing


​Dear all,



I'm in need of suggestions on the correct analyses strategy for my data.

I have an experiment with a cue followed (after ~2 seconds) by a target.

I epoched the data cue-locked and pre-processed my dataset. In my preprocessing I'm downsampling, re-referencing, rejecting some trials, running ICA, etc etc.



My problem is that I would want to also epoch my data target-locked, but I want to do it after pre-processing the cue-locked dataset. This is because I want to exclude the same trials and apply exactly the same corrections to the two different datasets.



I tried to use the function ft_redefinetrial, creating the new probe-locked trial definition and applying it to the cue-locked dataset.



cfg=[];

cfg.trl=trl;                            # trl contains the trial definition of target-locked epochs



data_target = ft_redefinetrial (cfg, data_cue)





But I do not obtain what I wished for, because I get a data_target dataset that doesn't account for the trial rejection I performed while pre-processing the cue-locked dataset.



So my questions are:

1) is it possible to achieve my goal?

2) If yes, what is the right strategy to do it?



Thanks for any input and suggestion!



Best,

Silvia
