During the NatMeg workshop we noticed that when cfg.trials is empty, it results in all trials being selected. The specific situation here was that cfg.trials=find(data.trialinfo(:,1)==trigger); did not result in any trials (due to a typo in the trigger number). However, all trials were selected. Perhaps it is better that ft_selectdata throws an error if cfg.trials is present, but empty.

ft_getopt has a flag that means 'ismeaningfullempty', allowing for an empty definition of e.g. cfg.trials to return no trials, rather than all. The old version of ft_selectdata supported this. Could you check whether the ismeaningfullempty flag is used in ft_getopt when setting the default for cfg.trials?

(In reply to Jan-Mathijs Schoffelen from comment #1) this should be checked in all code where cfg.trials is used

emptymeaningful is not set in the functions I checked, I will fix it.

I've set ismeaningfullempty to 1 for the following functions: jimher@svn.fcdonders.nl's password: Sending ft_channelrepair.m Sending ft_combineplanar.m Sending ft_componentanalysis.m Sending ft_connectivityanalysis.m Sending ft_denoise_pca.m Sending ft_freqanalysis.m Sending ft_freqdescriptives.m Sending ft_freqstatistics.m Sending ft_megplanar.m Sending ft_multiplotER.m Sending ft_multiplotTFR.m Sending ft_redefinetrial.m Sending ft_rejectvisual.m Sending ft_singleplotER.m Sending ft_singleplotTFR.m Sending ft_timelockanalysis.m Sending private/topoplot_common.m Transmitting file data ................. Committed revision 10105. ft_selectdata was already fixed so I might have done that one previously.
