[Eeglablist] causal filtering pop_eegfiltnew

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Daniele,

Thank you for your comment.

filter" box.

You are right here. But Marta said

> if i want to get a causal filter i should be using the 'legacy' version
of the pop_eegfilt that uses fir1 and firfirl to filter the data?

So she *wants* to use the causal filter for some reason.

Marta, here is additional caution: 'use causal filter' does NOT keep ERP
peak latencies unchanged (if that's what you want to test; here I'm just
guessing).
