How to design trigger codes to obtain accurate markers

Creating event markers with hardware triggers requires trigger codes. Designing codes for a specific study can be unintuitive and error prone. Here we provide you with a practical strategy to design trigger codes with a structured trigger plan. To help you to create a trigger plan, we introduce trigger2marker, a freely downloadable MATLAB® tool.
