[Eeglablist] Passing vector elements to pop_select() 'no channel' argument

[chao wang]

Hi, Laura

In the help of the function, it says this parameter should be a "vector of
channel indices to exclude from the new dataset. Can also be a cell array
of channel names." So I think the following formats might be acceptable:

chan_remove = {128, [87, 119], 104, 104, 119, 15}; % (each cell is a vector
of channel indices)

OR

chan_remove2 = {'E128', {'E87','E119'}, 'E104', 'E104', 'E119', 'E15'}; %
(each cell is a cell array of channel indices)

You can try them.

Best,
Chao
