ft_electrodermalactivity.m

function [dataout] = ft_electrodermalactivity(cfg, datain)

% FT_ELECTRODERMALACTIVITY estimates the electrodermal activity from a recording of
% the electric resistance of the skin.
%
% Use as
%   eda = ft_electrodermalactivity(cfg, data)
% where the input data is a structure as obtained from FT_PREPROCESSING.
%
% The configuration structure has the following options
%   cfg.channel        = selected channel for processing, see FT_CHANNELSELECTION
%   cfg.feedback       = 'yes' or 'no'
%   cfg.medianwindow   = scalar, length of window for median filter in seconds (default = 8)
%
% After using this function you can use FT_REDEFINETRIAL and FT_TIMELOCKANLAYSIS to
% investigate electrodermal responses (EDRs) to stimulation. You can use
% FT_ARTIFACT_THRESHOLD to determine the timing and frequency of nonspecific EDRs.

% for electrodermal measurements" by the SPR for an introduction in electrodermal
% methods and for recommendations.
