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

It depends on a number of things. For example some of the eeglab functions
that you call may be declaring EEG as global or evaluating it in workspace
(but in such case this should happen whatever name you gave to the variable
passed as EEG).
In some cases it may be safer to declare EEG as global / evalin yourself. I
remember once having a function that kept working on the same file instead
of  looping through multiple files. The global declaration in one of the
eeglab functions was overwriting the EEG that it got passed with the
previously global EEG (the first EEG processed).
To avoid these perils one can declare EEG as global at the relevant level,
use evalin('base', 'EEG', EEG) or clearvars -global EEG :)
