[Eeglablist] Epochs - How to average epochs for power extraction

[Clement Lee]

Hi Claudia,

You would be calculating spectopo (and then alphaPower) on EEG.data(2,:,:).
One way to check if you selected your events correctly by looking at the
size of EEG.data(2,:,:) and checking if the number of epochs and time
points are expected. You could also plot an epoch (e.g.
plot(EEG.data(2,:,1))) as a sanity check.
