You would just need some code that iterates through epochs and, for each epoch, calculates the mean of some window before the fixation cross (you can find the latency of the fixation cross using EEG.epoch(i).eventtype and EEG.epoch(i).eventlatency), and subtracts that value from the whole epoch.<br>

<div><p>Hi,</p><p>When using pop_rmbase, are min_ms and max_ms relative to the start of the epoch, or to the timelocking event that the epoch was based around? So, the number that are entered as

For example, I am interested in what is happening around one event (movement onset), but I would like the baseline to be based around
the participants viewing a fixation cross. But the period between the fixation cross and movement onset is variable. Is there a way to specify time points based around the fixation cross for the baseline, or does the fact that the time period varies present
a problem?</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p>Thanks,</p><p>katherine</p><div> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div>
