FieldTrip

Definetrial and preprocessing require the original MEG dataset, which is available from ftp://ftp.fcdonders.nl/pub/fieldtrip/tutorial/Subject01.zip.

% find the interesting segments of data
cfg = [];                                                  % empty configuration
cfg.dataset                 = 'Subject01.ds';              % name of CTF dataset  
cfg.trialdef.eventtype      = 'backpanel trigger';
cfg.trialdef.prestim        = 1;
cfg.trialdef.poststim       = 2;
cfg.trialdef.eventvalue     = 3;                     
cfg = definetrial(cfg);            

% preprocess the data
cfg.trl([15, 36, 39, 42, 43, 49, 50, 81, 82, 84],:) = [];  % remove the segments that have artifacts
cfg.channel    = {'MEG', '-MLP31', '-MLO12'};              % read all MEG channels except MLP31 and MLO12
cfg.lpfilter   = 'yes';                              % apply lowpass filter
cfg.lpfreq     = 35;                                 % lowpass at 35 Hz.
dataFIC2timelock = preprocessing(cfg);                      

These data have been cleaned from artifacts by removing several trials and two sensors; see visual_artifact_rejection. For event related averaging data it is recommended to lowpass de data at 35 Hz (and NOT to detrend!).

Subsequently you can save the data to disk.
