[Eeglablist] Importing Event Markers from Biopac/Acqknowledge

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Ken,

I used Biopack and Acquknowledge a decade ago. I remember I made a Excel
file like this and exported as ascii.

Type Latency
stimulus 6.78
response 8.12
stimulus 10.45
response 12.33

You can import this .txt file to EEGLAB as an event file. Don't forget to
specify that your data start from line 2 (so skip line1). Type and Latency
are, if I remember correctly, reserved variable names so you MUST have them
in the first line (otherwise it'll probably fail).
