ERP_REJECT performs rejection of outlier trials from ERP studies.

Outlying trials are determined as follows (Citi et al, 2010):
for the set of trials (MxN matrix, M trials of N samples each) the first quartile, q1(j), and third quartile, q3(j), at each sample, j, are found. Then an acceptance "strip" is defined as the time-varying interval [q1(j)−G*D(j), q3(j)+G*D(j)] where D(j)=q3(j)−q1(j). Responses falling outside the acceptance strip for more than a fraction Q of the trial length are rejected. The inputs 'G' and 'Q' default to 1.5 and 0.1, respectively, if not given.

If 'baseline' is not empty, the trials are baseline-corrected before the described procedure is applied. If 'baseline' is a scalar integer, for each trial the value at sample 'baseline' is subtracted from the whole trial; if it is a two-element vector, the average of the samples between baseline(1) and baseline(2) is used instead.

This procedure has been used and described in:
