[Eeglablist] re-epoching, ICA selected periods

[José Luis]

Hi Tarik,

Thanks for the input,
Looks the approach we are taking is good,
However, I haven't be able to epoch using two triggers, I need to select an
epoch which is 0.5 sec before a trigger A, and 0.5 sec after a trigger D,
is there any way to do this?,

thanks for your help,
best
Jose
