FT_DATATYPE_RAW
Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help that is displayed in MATLAB when you type “help ft_datatype_raw”.
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 (e.g. 'MRC13') time: {1x266 cell} the timeaxis [1*Ntime double] per trial trial: {1x266 cell} the numeric data [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 (2010v2) The trialdef field has been replaced by the sampleinfo and trialinfo fields.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 See also FT_DATATYPE, FT_DATATYPE_COMP, FT_DATATYPE_TIMELOCK, FT_DATATYPE_FREQ, FT_DATATYPE_SPIKE, FT_DATATYPE_SENS
