[Eeglablist] extracting single-trial values

[Bastien Boutonnet]

Yeah doesn't seem like there are any built-in functions.


Your suggestion helps a bit. However I need to extract the peak from each epoch. So I guess I have to loop over it. 




What does the squeeze() do. I looked on the matlab help but the explanation is not helpful to me at all.
