[Eeglablist] Error while rejecting continuous data (eeglab 14)

Sun Apr 23 12:39:26 PDT 2017

Dear Zahra,

I am happy that the num2str works for you. As regards your previous
question -- I ran this code after importing the data, as one of the first
preprocessing steps, but I don't think it would be a problem if you
executed it a bit later (say, after filtering, etc.).
As regards str2num, the code: EEG.event(1).type=str2num(EEG.event(1).type)
should work (it follows the same logic). However, remember that eeglab
tends to automatically convert numerical events to strings, because it
prefers the events to be strings rather than integers. Also if you have
inserted some boundary events that are strings by nature, I am not sure
that you can make them integers. Maybe more experienced eeglab users could
help here?
If you don't mind me asking - why would you come back to numerical events
in the first place? What's the motivation behind doing it?

Best,
Rafal
