[Eeglablist] Filter causality pop_eegfiltnew

Oh thats interesting. I had not seen Anil's multitaper filter (might be fairly recent). But possibly it is exactly the same approach that is in Cleanline. If this is the method advocated by Mitra and Pesaran as in the Chronux toolbox then indeed its the same. And highly recommended.

Before using the Cleanline (that I used today for the first time) I did't use the notch filter, I used a multi taper filtering made by Anil Seth. I know that filtering is very bad for later VAR modeling, especially notch and high pass. Low pass is better (usually I use multi taper filtering to remove the noise lines and a low pass causal filter with cut off filtering of 100 Hz).
Do you think is ok Tim?
