%% MEEG time-lock searchlight
%
% This example shows MVPA analyses performed on MEEG data.
%
% The input dataset involved a paradigm with electrical median nerve
% stimulation for durations of 2s at 20Hz.
%
% Using a time-channel neighborhood, a searchlight map is computed
% indicating in time and space (channel) the pre-stimulation period can be
% distinguished from the peri/post stimulation period.
%
% The code presented here can be adapted for other MEEG analyses, but
% there are a few potential caveats:
% * assignment of targets (labels of conditions) is based here on
%   stimulation periods versus pre-stimulation periods. In typical
%   analyses the targets should be based on different trial conditions, for
%   example as set a FieldTrip .trialinfo field.
% * assignment of chunks (parts of the data that are assumed to be
%   independent) is based on a trial-by-trial basis. For cross-validation,
%   the number of chunks is reduced to two to speed up the analysis.
% * the current examples do not perform baseline corrections or signal
%   normalizations, which may reduce discriminatory power.
%
% Note: running this code requires FieldTrip.
