[Eeglablist] Error while precomputing STUDY: NaN values in cluster.sets

Greetings,

I've seen this several times, and it's led to a lot of wasted time. I'm
sure others have come across it before,  perhaps it was already mentioned
it on eeglablist posts, did you check?.

This issue sounds like a bug, if so it should be reported to the EEGLAB
bugzilla.

I believe that the problem is that eeglab is looking for exactly matching
ICs across datasets that it considers to be coming from one ID or subject.
I would also check if there is not some special information (such as ID or
group) that is being read incorrectly and affecting how STUDY thinks about
organizing the ICs.

Try uploading a small study of short datasets with the ICs, which
replicates the problem when STUDY is set up.

This, however, is puzzling because I made sure to do ICA on each subject's dataset *before* epoching, meaning that all sets for individual conditions share the same weights for a subject. After getting this error I even tried to copy the weights (EEG.icawinv + EEG.icasphere + EEG.icaweights + EEG.icachansind) from the unepoched set to all the epoched ones.
