Created attachment 587 data with our 61 eeg labels, being cut to 21 in the current ft version Since fieldtrip-20140121 functions using the option "cfg.channel = {'EEG'}" give different results from fieldtrip-20130901. Channels that were previously included in the analysis are now stripped from the data. Investigation shows, that the behaviour of ft_channelselection seems to have changed, probably due to changes in ft_senstype. Channels that were previously included in the "EEG" subset are now stripped, probably due to an intersection with a smaller list of candidates returned by ft_senslabel in connection with changed classification by ft_senstype (see example). With attached example data, 61 channel subset of an extended 1020 setup (IFCN 10/10 afaik): data = label: {61x1 cell} - fieldtrip-20130901 ft_senstype(data.label) ans = ext1020 - fieldtrip-20140121 ft_senstype(data.label) ans = eeg1020 This leads to our data being reduced to the 21 channels that intersect with the 1020 system. Maybe related to bug 2028.

thanks for the report, your analysis so far seems to point in a likely cause for the problem. For reference, I have copied the data to (internal) /home/common/matlab/fieldtrip/data/test/bug2463.mat I implemented a test script and one change. However, the change does not fix the complete problem yet. roboos@mentat001> svn commit Sending fileio/ft_chantype.m Sending ft_channelselection.m Adding test/test_bug2463.m Transmitting file data ... Committed revision 9322.

(In reply to Robert Oostenveld from comment #1) the problem is at line 341 in ft_senstype elseif (mean(ismember(ft_senslabel('eeg1010'), sens.label)) > 0.8) type = 'eeg1010'; There is only a fraction of 0.7093 in the labels that matches the 1010 set (which has 86 labels in them), i.e. 61/86=0.7093. Here it does not make sense to perform the selection like this. I will change the selection around, i.e. if 80% of your channels are in the 1010 set, it seems that eeg1010 is an appropriate label for the set, even though you only have 61 from the (predefined) 86. roboos@mentat001> svn commit Sending forward/ft_senstype.m Transmitting file data . Committed revision 9323. This should fix it. The test script now runs without error.
