 ==== Event-triggered spectrograms using FieldTrip ====
-[[http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/ | FieldTrip]] is a toolbox originally developed for the analysis of human EEG and MEG data. Because these settings have historically faced complex signal processing challenges, such as eyeblink artifact removal, source reconstruction, and mapping across many electrodes, the methods developed to address these challenges are mature and have much to offer to rodent electrophysiologists.

 The FieldTrip toolbox continues to be actively developed and maintained, primarily at the [[http://www.ru.nl/donders/ | Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour]] in Nijmegen. It is supported by a popular [[http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/discussion_list | mailing list]], extensive documentation with [[http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/tutorial | tutorials]], and various workshops organized across the globe (such as [[http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/workshop/toronto | this one]] in Toronto).

 === Loading Neuralynx data into FieldTrip ===
-☛ If you haven't already done so, clone the lab's [[https://github.com/fieldtrip/fieldtrip|FieldTrip repository on GitHub]]. Make sure you have a shortcut that sets up MATLAB's path to include it.

+:!: **IMPORTANT: to make this section work, your path shortcut should add %%FieldTrip%% first, the course repository second!** :!: This ensures that our (modified) functions take precedence over the %%FieldTrip%% code.

 Test your code with the same events used to generate the event-triggered spectrogram above. Do you think the average is a reasonable charaterization of what is happening in the LFP for these events?
+☆ Choose your own challenge! Make sure to discuss your idea(s) with me first. Remember, this module concludes the first half of the course, and you should pick something from this first set of modules.
