[Eeglablist] adding event markers at EMG onset

[Arnaud Delorme]

Dear Nive,

If your EMG onset are sharp and last and EMG last a definite period, you could try using the function File > Import event > From data channel then select a threshold and a put a long transition length. This might work.

Best,

Arno

So I still had to go through by hand anyway and mark which trials were actually good.

I will have to mark the onset of EMG activity, epoch the data 3s before the onset and then average the epochs. Is there a way to automate adding event markers at EMG onset on eeglab?
