[Eeglablist] adding event markers at EMG onset

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

Hi Nive,

You could do this using programmatically within MATLAB (i.e. by writing a
loop that goes through and finds spots within a certain distance of your
stimulus triggers where the signal exceeds some threshold; the details of
the code might depend a bit on the format of your EEG.event structure), but
in my experience doing this you I would still catch false positives
(picking up other task-irrelevant noise or movement that the participant
made) and misses (if the motion--which in my experiment was speech
articulation--doesn't cause MEG to go over the threshhold for some reason).
So I still had to go through by hand anyway and mark which trials were
actually good.

Best,
Steve
