[Eeglablist] Using the 'command' field of eeg_plot to reject trials

Sat Jun 28 00:15:47 PDT 2014

Dear Matthew and Makoto,

synchronizing with base workspace eeglab GUI usually requires a bit more
(unless you want to change your function into a script).
The easiest way is to declare relevant eeglab variables as globals at the
beginning of the function (EEG, ALLEEG, etc. - whatever eeglab variables
you are using and want to sync with workspace gui). For example:
global EEG

Unfortunately, using globals is usually frowned upon by programmers (for
good reasons) but I don't think you should worry too much when using
globals in small applications.

Another way however would be to assign (see assignin docummentation)
relevant eeglab variables in the base workspace and evaluate (see evalin)
eeglab GUI commands in the base workspace too.

Try globals first. EEGlab declares most (if not all) of the all-caps base
workspace variables as globals and synchronizes the gui functions (at least
some of them) with the workspace this way - so you should be fine with
global variables (from my experience - using globals is the easiest and
most efficient way of creating and synchronizing GUI data in matlab without
blocking the command window with uiwait( ) etc. ).
