[Eeglablist] fMRI artifact removal

[Yuko Yotsumoto]

Hi Marcel,

According to their publication and web page, fMRIb plug-in works with as 
low as 2048 Hz sampling rate, which I think makes this plug-in very 
valuable.

But 957 Hz is probably too low... I am wondering if anybody knows the 
minimum requirement for sampling rate to apply fMRIb.

Thanks,
Yuko
