[Eeglablist] Using EEGLAB from within a function

[Andreas Widmann]

Hi David,

try to find an introduction on variable scope in MATLAB, e.g. here
http://www.ieee-uffc.org/ultrasonics/software/MATLAB/Lecture2/Lecture2_6.htm
or here
http://msenux.redwoods.edu/Math4Textbook/Programming/VariableScope.pdf

You cannot modify a workspace variable from within a function (without using global what is usually not recommended due to unexpected side effects). EEGLAB’s ALLEEG and EEG are workspace variables.

Berry’s example should guide you on the right track, however, there is either a pop_newset or eeg_store command missing before eeglab -redraw.
[ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET] = pop_newset(ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET)
or
[ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET] = eeg_store(ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET);

Best,
Andreas
