[Eeglablist] ERP plots

[Arnaud Delorme]

For ERP analysis, you may also use EEGLAB STUDY and ERPLAB. Using either tools, you can define complex experimental designs and perform statistics.

You are doing the right things about editing figures though. We use Adobe Illustrator as well. Fine tuning figures with Matlab is not a good idea. A few hints: always convert the figure using the 'painter' option "set(gcf, 'renderer', 'painter')" before saving it, otherwise, for your complex figures, they will be saved as bitmap in the postscript file. If you have transparency in your figures, do not use the painter option above (it is not compatible with transparency). Instead, save them using the plot2svg Matlab tool below. You can open SVG graphics in Illustrator and it will preserve vector graphics. With a minor tweak to the function, you can even export most 3-D Matlab graphics as 2-D vectorized files.
