[Eeglablist] Plotting 3D voltage topography at single time point

[Cedric Cannard]

Hi,

If you just want to just visualize the topo at different time points, EEGLAB allows you to do that by simply right-clicking the desired time point when looking at your data in pop_eegplot (plot>channel data (scroll)).
That works for both continuous and epoched data.
