Exporting boundary events created in EEGLAB

Hi, I'd like to export to a .txt file the boundary events with their latencies and duration form EEG struct of EEGLAB. In the field EEG.event there's the field 'type' in which all events are present: boundary, square and rt. How do I extract only the boundary ones?

Hi Ludovica,

Based on my understanding, it seems that you are seeking guidance on extracting ‘latencies’ and ‘durations’ of events with ‘type’ as ‘boundary’. You can use the provided code as a starting point and make the necessary custom changes to suit your specific requirements:

EEG=struct;
EEG.event(1).type = 'square';EEG.event(1).position = 1;EEG.event(1).latencies = rand;EEG.event(1).urevent = 2 * rand; EEG.event(1).duration = 4 * rand;
EEG.event(2).type = 'boundary';EEG.event(2).position = 2;EEG.event(2).latencies = rand;EEG.event(2).urevent = 2 * rand; EEG.event(2).duration = 4 * rand;
EEG.event(3).type = 'rt';EEG.event(3).position = 3;EEG.event(3).latencies = rand;EEG.event(3).urevent = 2 * rand; EEG.event(3).duration = 4 * rand; 
EEG.event(4).type = 'boundary';EEG.event(4).position = 3;EEG.event(4).latencies = rand;EEG.event(4).urevent = 2 * rand; EEG.event(4).duration = 4 * rand;

EEG = struct with fields:
    event: [1×4 struct]

L=ismember({EEG.event.type},{'boundary'});
exportedData = [EEG.event(L).latencies; EEG.event(L).duration]'

exportedData = 2×2

0.3033 3.6549 0.3962 1.9749

Then you can export the ‘exportedData’ to the .txt file. I hope this helps you in exporting your data.
