[Eeglablist] newtimef with a baseline that is 3 secs earlier (for 1sec) than the time-locking event

[Francesco Marini]

Hi Adam,

In this case you have three options:

1- time-lock to the beginning of the stimulus, baseline from -1000 to 0 and
then shift your time axis of 2000ms (this requires the stimulus duration to
be fixed)

2- use the complex numbers in tfdataStand, which are not baseline
corrected, to extract the measure of choice (ersp/itc) and apply the
baseline manually (this requires some minimal technical knowledge)

3- hire a grad student/postdoc who does the job for you (this requires the
capacity of keeping a grad student/postdoc for longer than a few months)

Let me know if you need help with #1 or #2. Unfortunately, I can't help
with #3.

Good luck,
Francesco
