 === Overview ===
 Here we demonstrate how to track what epochs were rejected by the artifact rejection. There might be experiments were one is interested in actually analyzing the rejected epochs. This information is available in the respective paradigm file but has to be extracted by the user. The idea is to create a new trigger for the rejected epochs that can later be read back into BESA Research.
 === Identifying Rejected Epochs ===
-In this example we use the subject 2 of the Auditory Intensity experiment located in the BESA Research examples folder (../Examples/AuditoryIntensity/S2.cnt).
 # Open the raw file S2.cnt and create a new paradigm for it. In the conditions tab create only conditions that directly correspond to each of the respective triggers (in my case I have 5 triggers, thus I have 5 conditions, one for each "current" trigger).
 # Define the Epochs and Filters as you like.
 # Run the artifact rejection.
-# Close everything and find the respective paradigm file in the folder of raw file S2.cnt (typically %basename%.pdg, in my case S2.pdg, see [[File:S2.PDG|thumb]]).
