FieldTrip

Ft_definetrial and ft_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     = 9;                    % event value of FC
cfg = ft_definetrial(cfg);            
  
% remove the trials that have artifacts from the trl
cfg.trl([2, 3, 4, 30, 39, 40, 41, 45, 46, 47, 51, 53, 59, 77, 85],:) = [];

% preprocess the data
cfg.channel   = {'MEG', '-MLP31', '-MLO12'};        % read all MEG channels except MLP31 and MLO12
cfg.demean    = 'yes';                              % do baseline correction with the complete trial

dataFC = ft_preprocessing(cfg);

These data have been cleaned from artifacts by removing several trials and two sensors; see the visual artifact rejection tutorial.

Subsequently you can save the data to disk.
