[FieldTrip] ft_definetrial

[Hannah Anderson]

Dear FieldTrip community

I am attempting to define a trial based on a start and end marker, and then cut the trial into 2 second segments with 0.5% overlap.

    Marker Segmentation
    cfg                                      = [];
    cfg.dataset                       = d(data).name;
    cfg.continuous                 = 'yes';
    cfg.trialfun                        = 'trial_fun_startend'; %trial_function for marker segmentation
    cfg.trialdef.prestim          = 0.2; %in seconds
    cfg.trialdef.poststim        = 0; %in seconds
    cfg.trialdef.ntrials             = inf;

    cfg                                       = ft_definetrial(cfg);  % define trials

I created a trial fun which is successful in creating a trial from start marker to end marker but I get an error I get an error;
-Index in position 2 exceeds array bounds (must not exceed 2)
Error in ft_redefinetrial (line 267)
 offset    = newtrl(:,3);

when I try and then segment the trial into 2 second trials with overlap.

This is my trialfun:

function [trl, event] = trial_fun_startend(cfg);

hdr          = ft_read_header(cfg.dataset);
event        = ft_read_event(cfg.dataset);

detectflank  = 'up';

value        = [event(find(strcmp('STATUS', {event.type}))).value]';
sample       = [event(find(strcmp('STATUS', {event.type}))).sample]';

trl          = [];
sel          = find(strcmp({event.type}, 'STATUS'));
event        = event(sel)

begsample = event(1, 2);
endsample = event(1, 3);
offset    = newtrl(:,3);
trl      = [begsample endsample];

I am not sure what else I can try as the other define trial options segment the data into two trials (one for each trigger) and I need it to be one dataset starting at trigger 1 and ending at trigger 2. If anyone could offer some advice/assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
Hannah
