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

Thu Dec 3 20:51:29 PST 2015

Thanks very much Nikola for sharing your experiences. So the workaround is
manual but effective!
This is close to what I remember, it was definitely an issue of missing or
mismatched ICs, which I could not fully resolve.
Will try to followup if I find anything useful.
Respectfully,tarik
