[Erppcatoolkit-support] ERP PCA Toolkit 2.09 release

[Joseph D. <jd...@ma...>]

I finally got around to getting the EP Toolkit officially written up.  When publishing a paper using it, please be sure to use the following citation as it may help me get support for maintaining and improving it:

Dien, J. (in press). The ERP PCA Toolkit: An Open Source Program For Advanced Statistical Analysis of Event Related Potential Data. Journal of Neuroscience Methods.

Also, I just posted version 2.09.  Aside from the usual updates to the documentation, it makes the following fixes and enhancements:

1) Fixed crash when viewing Window pane for a dataset with less than four cells under Matlab versions prior to 2008.
2) Workaround for Matlab bug that appears to prevent buttons from being colored when pressed in the Channel Group window on Macs using version 2009b under at least some conditions.
3) Fixed crash in ANOVA pane when entering between group name that is not three letters long.
4) Fixed error when changing ced field in overview subpane of edit pane.
5) When reading in an EGIS format file, if none of the EGI montages are chosen, then it will allow for a .ced file to be chosen.
6) Fixed failure due to Matlab bug to redraw View pane when changing the dataset for one of the colors.
7) Fixed crash when examining a file in the View pane with less than four cells.
8) Rounds off ms labels in the scale graph of the Wave Window.
9) Added support to the ANOVA module for non-ERP data with the addition of the "behavioral" keyword.  See the tutorial file.

There seems to be some issues related to reading .set files created by EEGlab due to what appears to be bugs in the FieldTrip code that is used by the EP Toolkit.  I'm in the process of getting this sorted out and will post an update once finished.  This will likely require fixes to FieldTrip itself (to which I am a contributor).  Make sure to periodically update your copy of FieldTrip and EEGlab to take advantage of such fixes (and to delete the stale copy of FieldTrip in EEGlab and vice versa).  I'm also planning on adding the ability to save .set files and to broaden support to EEGlab study structures.

Cheers!

Joe
