hi, I wanted to apply average mastoids reference derivation on my EEG data. The data recorded at each channel is already referenced to the left mastoid (LM), and now I would like to include also the right mastoid in the reference, so I have to re-reference my data. But when I use this configuration of ft_preprocessing: cfg.reref='yes'; cfg.refchannel='RM'; it just simply subtracts RM from each data-point: a'=a-RM. However, I think this is not correct because RM has been already referenced also to LM. Therefore, only RM/2 should be subtracted from each data-point (a'=a-(RM/2)). I can circumvent this problem with using the montage option, but I guess it would be nice to explain this also to other users. Lilla

(In reply to comment #0) I just have discussed this with Robert. It can be done like this: cfg=[]; cfg.implicitref='LM'; cfg.refchannel={'RM','LM'};

so, I close this.
