[Eeglablist] Plotting continuous data and event types not appearing

[Cedric Cannard]

Hi Roberto,

I don't think this is possible via the GUI, but you can simply type this in command window (once your data are loaded in eeglab):

my_events = {EEG.event.type};
summary(categorical(my_events))  % displays count for each event type

Hope this helps. 

If you need to export the counts for a specific category, use:
idx = contains(my_events, 'event_type_of_interest');
count = sum(idx)

Then you can save the index of events of interest (variable 'idx') if you need or keep only these events, etc. Just change the name of the event type if you need to do this with other types. 

Cedric

I have been working with .vhdr files for a while now, and it never happened to me before. My lab has just changed device, so I was wondering if that could be the reason for this, and what is the solution for this (if any at all).
