FT_DATATYPE_RAW describes the FieldTrip MATLAB structure for raw data
The raw datatype represents sensor-level time-domain data typically
obtained after calling FT_DEFINETRIAL and FT_PREPROCESSING. It contains
one or multiple segments of data, each represented as Nchan X Ntime
arrays.
An example of a raw data structure with 151 MEG channels is
label: {151x1 cell} the channel labels represented as a cell-array of strings
time: {1x266 cell} the time axis [1*Ntime double] per trial
trial: {1x266 cell} the numeric data as a cell array, with a matrix of [151*Ntime double] per trial
sampleinfo: [266x2 double] the begin and endsample of each trial relative to the recording on disk
trialinfo: [266x1 double] optional trigger or condition codes for each trial
hdr: [1x1 struct] the full header information of the original dataset on disk
grad: [1x1 struct] information about the sensor array (for EEG it is called elec)
cfg: [1x1 struct] the configuration used by the function that generated this data structure
Required fields:
- time, trial, label
Optional fields:
- sampleinfo, trialinfo, grad, elec, opto, hdr, cfg
Deprecated fields:
- fsample
Obsoleted fields:
- offset
Revision history:
(2011/latest) The description of the sensors has changed, see FT_DATATYPE_SENS
for further information.
(2010v2) The trialdef field has been replaced by the sampleinfo and
trialinfo fields. The sampleinfo corresponds to trl(:,1:2), the trialinfo
to trl(4:end).
(2010v1) In 2010/Q3 it shortly contained the trialdef field which was a copy
of the trial definition (trl) is generated by FT_DEFINETRIAL.
(2007) It used to contain the offset field, which correcponds to trl(:,3).
Since the offset field is redundant with the time axis, the offset field is
from now on not present any more. It can be recreated if needed.
(2003) The initial version was defined
