[Eeglablist] Problem with eegfiltnew

[Andreas Widmann]

> I am having an issue with the eegfiltnew function, which consistently returns an error. I thought I had resolved the error by reinstalling EEGLAB, however, it appears this was only a temporary fix, as one week later using the same version of EEGLAB and MATLAB, the error has returned.
Please check your path for duplicate versions of EEGLAB.

> EEG = pop_eegfiltnew (EEG, [], lp_filter, filtorder, 0, [], 0);

I cannot replicate the problem here but my pop_eegfiltnew line 275 is apparently different from what your error message suggests. Please update to latest eeglab version from Github first.

Verify by "which pop_eegfiltnew" whether the expected version from correct path is called.

The error is most likely due to either g.minphase or g.usefftfilt being empty. So, you might try explicitly specifying both arguments instead of using defaults:

EEG = pop_eegfiltnew (EEG, hp_filter, [], filtorder, 0, 0, 0, 0);

Best,
Andreas
