I want to find the origin of  focal or more complex seizures of epilepsy
> but in general you should not expect that a tutorial that was written for task based data, for instance an oddball task, works as is for any other data, in your case a clinical EEG dataset.

I understand 

my question would be then how to proceed (see below)
 

> There are several reasons for this. First of all, an experimental dataset  typically contains markers at specified timepoints in the data, that indicate certain events happening, for instance the onset of a visual stimulus on the screen, or a button pressed by the participant. Using this event information (which is represented in a dataset specific way) the experimenter can determine which chunks of the data are interesting for further investigation. The definition of the chunks of interest is done in ft_definetrial (which is the function that throws the error), but this only works if the data aligns with the instructions that the function is given. Now, given that you input clinical EEG data in combination with an event extraction recipe (’trialfun_oddball_stimlocked') that has no relation whatsoever with any event information stored in the EEG data file, it is bound to fail.

I need the combination because sometimes the focal seizure location is in the ROI of maximum activity and there is no need for dipole fitting but sometimes there is propagation and it is required to do analysis with dipole to know where it came from 

> We don’t have a lot of teaching material about epilepsy, but a good start might be http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/epilepsy/, rather than the tutorial you referred to. Note, however, that this tutorial concerns MEG data, and some parts of it are not relevant in case of EEG data. On the other hand, it might give you some handles on how this type of data can be analyzed.

I will check for the tutorial but please tell me what changes do I need to do or what data do I need, to run dipole fitting in epilepsy dataset. 

Also I have data from epilepsy that shows no epileptic seizure or epileptic activity whatsoever (that is healthy subjects) is it easier to analyse eeg with dipole fitting in that case? How should I proceed? 

Thank you for your kindness and dedication!!

The reason for this is that people who invest their time and efforts to answer questions on this list, do so on a voluntary basis. Besides this, your question was so unspecific that I guess nobody knows how to provide an sufficiently informative answer.
