[Eeglablist] Cz reference in EGI files while import

[Juliane BRITZ]

Yes, Cz is the physical recording reference in the EGI system, and this 
why it comes in flat. If you want to use Cz as a channel, you have to 
re-reference the data.

Is there some reason that having Cz be present is preventing you from proceeding with your bad channel corrections?
