[Eeglablist] [Fwd: Eye Movement Artifacts and Filtering]

Hi

I want write to Matlab script to call the eeg functions.....I don't want to use the EEGLAB menu. But the first command that I need is >>eeglab....and the menun is open.....I would like that the menu is not open......Do you know if it is possible?

Example:

>> eeglab
>>eeg = pop_loadset()
>> and so on

And......I don't want to open a eeglab menu. I would like to make everything using script...

Thanks
Viviane
