[Eeglablist] filter problems

Yes, this is a known problem as described in the tutorial page you 
mention. It does not always happen. It is directly linked to the Matlab 
design filter function so there is little we can do about it. Low pass 
then high pass your data (as you performed) usually solves this problem.

Andreas Widmann, who programmed the BVA import function, is thinking of 
putting in a new improved linear filter plugin in the near future. You 
also have the alternative of using the non-linear IIR filter plugin.

Best,

Arno
