[Eeglablist] eeglab broken after latest Matlab and EEGlab installed

Wed Jul 30 02:58:51 PDT 2025

Hi Jeff,

You need to enable the advanced options in the preferences before being able to disable HTML for the extension GUI (there is a checkbox for the advanced options — then call back the same menu item). This issue with the GUI is specific to 2025a MATLAB release and will be fixed soon.

Best wishes,

Arno
