function [channel] = ft_channelselection(desired, datachannel, senstype)
% FT_CHANNELSELECTION makes a selection of EEG and/or MEG channel labels.
% This function translates the user-specified list of channels into channel
% labels as they occur in the data. This channel selection procedure can be
% used throughout FieldTrip.
%
% Use as:
% channel = ft_channelselection(desired, datachannel)
%
% You can specify a mixture of real channel labels and of special strings,
% or index numbers that will be replaced by the corresponding channel
% labels. Channels that are not present in the raw datafile are
% automatically removed from the channel list.
%
% E.g. the input 'channel' can be:
% 'all' is replaced by all channels in the datafile
% 'gui' a graphical user interface will pop up to select the channels
% 'C*' is replaced by all channels that match the wildcard, e.g. C1, C2, C3, ...
% '*1' is replaced by all channels that match the wildcard, e.g. C1, P1, F1, ...
% 'M*1' is replaced by all channels that match the wildcard, e.g. MEG0111, MEG0131, MEG0131, ...
% 'meg' is replaced by all MEG channels (works for CTF, 4D, Neuromag and Yokogawa)
% 'megref' is replaced by all MEG reference channels (works for CTF and 4D)
% 'meggrad' is replaced by all MEG gradiometer channels (works for Yokogawa and Neuromag-306)
% 'megmag' is replaced by all MEG magnetometer channels (works for Yokogawa and Neuromag-306)
% 'eeg' is replaced by all recognized EEG channels (this is system dependent)
% 'eeg1020' is replaced by 'Fp1', 'Fpz', 'Fp2', 'F7', 'F3', ...
% 'eog' is replaced by all recognized EOG channels
% 'ecg' is replaced by all recognized ECG channels
% 'nirs' is replaced by all channels recognized as NIRS channels
% 'emg' is replaced by all channels in the datafile starting with 'EMG'
% 'lfp' is replaced by all channels in the datafile starting with 'lfp'
% 'mua' is replaced by all channels in the datafile starting with 'mua'
% 'spike' is replaced by all channels in the datafile starting with 'spike'
% 10 is replaced by the 10th channel in the datafile
%
% Other channel groups are
% 'EEG1010' with approximately 90 electrodes
% 'EEG1005' with approximately 350 electrodes
% 'EEGCHWILLA' for Dorothee Chwilla's electrode caps (used at the DCC)
% 'EEGBHAM' for the 128 channel EEG system used in Birmingham
% 'EEGREF' for mastoid and ear electrodes (M1, M2, LM, RM, A1, A2)
% 'MZ' for MEG zenith
% 'ML' for MEG left
% 'MR' for MEG right
% 'MLx', 'MRx' and 'MZx' with x=C,F,O,P,T for left/right central, frontal, occipital, parietal and temporal
%
% You can also exclude channels or channel groups using the following syntax
% {'all', '-POz', '-Fp1', -EOG'}
%
% See also FT_PREPROCESSING, FT_SENSLABEL, FT_MULTIPLOTER, FT_MULTIPLOTTFR,
% FT_SINGLEPLOTER, FT_SINGLEPLOTTFR
% Note that the order of channels that is returned should correspond with
% the order of the channels in the data.
