[Eeglablist] Comparing mu suppression with EEGLAB

Hi, I have a question concerning the proposed code, since I'm not very
familiar with EEGLAB so far:

Why in the command below channel 1 is represented by the number 2?   if the
matrix EEG.data has 64 channels for instance, does the code starts on the 2
position in the first dimension?

% for your epoched data, channel 1
[spectra,freqs] = spectopo(EEG.data(2,:,:), 0, EEG.srate);


Thanks for the help,
Anderson
