[Eeglablist] LIMO EEG categorical variable and continuous variables

[cyril pernet]

Hi Lorenzo,

LIMO EEG expect (at least for now) that your have your conditions coded 
separately for each trial - this should be a single vector with all your 
conditions (basically you can export this from your EEG structure). A 
continuous might some measures from your stimuli, the response (like 
coding incorrect responses to remove some variance), or RTs.

    Hi,

    I am currently trying to use the LIMO EEG toolbox but I am stuck at
    the first step! The GUI asks for a *categorical variable.txt* and
    a*continuous variables.mat*. I have my subjects analysed with EEGLAB
    but I have no such files. So..how do I create this two files?

order of trials in your epoched file.The continuous variable would be 
the same but it would not bin your data into condition. So for example 
it would be the degree > of brightness for each picture (hence, continuous).

As Bastien point out, any integer works -- also if there are some 
conditions you want to remove you could just put a NaN.
Files can be .mat or .txt

Also, excellent suggestion from Makoto, there is a tutorial in the help 
directory that will help you get started.
