Reference documentation
The reference documentation is provided here for your convenience. In the first part of this page the most important FieldTrip functions are listed by category. In the second part of this page you will find an alphabetical list of all FieldTrip functions.
A complete overview with all configuration options is available in the configuration index.
If you are looking for the papers that describe the algorithms implemented in FieldTrip, please look at the references to implemented methods.
This reference documentation is automatically generated from the Matlab code every day. Therefore you should not edit these pages manually, since your changes would be overwritten automatically. If you want to suggest corrections to the documentation, please send them by email to the mailing list or to one of the main developers (see contact).
Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help text that is displayed in MATLAB when you type “help functionname”.
