Hello MNE lovers, We are trying to do a multiple events average with the mne\_process\_raw So far we tried with version mne\_setup 2.7.0 or 2.7.1 with no success Could somebody let me know if it has been implemented? In the ave file we try to add the trigger numbers as follow : Event 41 42 43 44 But it will take only the first number Any advice will be helpful Thanks a lot Elisabeth ---

hi Elisabeth, try adding multiple events (one per line) in your ave something like this:   category {     name "Left Auditory"     event 1     event 2     tmin -0.2     tmax 0.5     color 1 1 0   } Alex ---

Hi Alex, Thanks for your answer Unfortunately we already try this, and it will be taking only the first number (first line) Do you have any other solution? Could it be coming from the version we are using 7.0 or 7.1? Best Elisabeth ---

I believe adding multiple events was added in a nightly build a couple months back. Try downloading that from the site and give it a whirl. Eric ---

Hi Elisabeth, I am attaching matlab script that merge multiple events and generated the new event file which you can use for averaging in mne.
