[Sebastian Sauppe]

Dear Andreas,

thanks a lot for suggesting this solution. This does the job for me! 🙂

Best,
Sebastian

If I correctly understand your description type 1 and type 2 events always come in pairs and you want to use the baseline of the type 1 event for each subsequent type 2 event. Why not epoching your data two times (from raw data or your long epochs), once for the type 1 events and once for the type 2 events and then copying the baseline interval from the first dataset to the second dataset? On the command line this breaks down to one line. Something like this should work:
> 
> ALLEEG( 2 ).data( :, 1:100, : ) = ALLEEG( 1 ).data( :, 1:100, : );
> [ ALLEEG EEG CURRENTSET ] = pop_newset( ALLEEG, EEG, CURRENTSET )

I have EEG data from an experiment where participants listened to sentences and I want to extract two different kinds of epochs (time locked to different points in the sentences). I first extracted epochs that are long enough to have all data points for both kinds of time-locking and used these epochs for ICA and artifact correction. These epochs are already time-locked to the first event of interest. The second event of interest occurs at different times in different epochs and I know how to shift the event markers so that I can time-lock to this second event.

When I simply shift the events with different latencies in different trials its not straightforward to keep the baseline segment. So I was thinking that the easiest way would be to just delete the data points between the first event and the second event so that the epoch goes from
