Note that this reference documentation is identical to the help that is displayed in MATLAB when you type “help ft_realtime_average”.

  FT_REALTIME_AVERAGE is an example realtime application for online
  averaging of the data. It should work both for EEG and MEG.
 
  Use as
    ft_realtime_average(cfg)
  with the following configuration options
    cfg.channel    = cell-array, see FT_CHANNELSELECTION (default = 'all')
    cfg.trialfun   = string with the trial function
 
  The source of the data is configured as
    cfg.dataset       = string
  or alternatively to obtain more low-level control as
    cfg.datafile      = string
    cfg.headerfile    = string
    cfg.eventfile     = string
    cfg.dataformat    = string, default is determined automatic
    cfg.headerformat  = string, default is determined automatic
    cfg.eventformat   = string, default is determined automatic
 
  To stop the realtime function, you have to press Ctrl-C
