Custom process that involves merging of channels

Hi there BST community,

I am currently writing a process that involves merging channels 4 and 5 in the channel editor shown below. The merging process is based on the article attached - merging through weighted averaging.

The coding for calculations is easy to compute. However, what I am worried about is the "merging" of the channels. The calculations involve merging channels "left (4)" and "right (5)" to give a "merged" channel. Therefore if the input file contained 6 channels as you can see, the output channel will contain 5 channels (because the left and the right are merged together through the calculations process).

Is this possible for Brainstorm?

This has been resolved - instead of merging the channels and removing channels 4 and 5, I've replaced the data within channels 4 and 5 with the calculated data of the merged channel.
So I still have the 6 channels but channels 4 and 5 no longer show left and right channel data but instead show the merged channel data.

I attach the custom process that I made here.
