<br>
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.<br>

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

<div dir="ltr">> Hey Lorenzo,
<div>> I’m not an expert with that toolbox yet but I’ve
enough knowledge to answer this.</div>
<div>> Your categorical variable is basically your condition
code for each epoch. I assume you have an epoched dataset? If
so, for each file you need to generate a list with an integer
per row > corresponding to the 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).<br>
</div>

<br>
As Bastien point out, any integer works -- also if there are some
conditions you want to remove you could just put a NaN.<br>
Files can be .mat or .txt<br>
<br>
Also, excellent suggestion from Makoto, there is a tutorial in the
help directory that will help you get started.<br>
