[Eeglablist] Question about importing Neuroscan .dat file to .CNT file

[Stephen Politzer-Ahles]

My apologies, I think I misunderstood your question--I thought you were
trying to import the RT and accuracy data into Neuroscan,  not EEGLAB. I
actually haven't tried this before (I only have experience importing it
into Neuroscan); maybe someone else on the list will know more!

Best,
Steve
