[FieldTrip] Epoch using events from a different file

[Schoffelen, J.M. (Jan Mathijs)]

If you want to re-epoch data that is already in a fieldtrip structure, you need to use ft_redefinetrial, rather than ft_definetrial. Please see the help documentation of the function, and the website for more information.

Best wishes,
Jan-Mathijs
