an option I see it to mark events manually in mne_browse_raw and then use a
bit of code to flatten the channels during the bad periods before passing it
to MNE that can reject based on flat channels.

that's option but be sure that fieldtrip does not loose any important info
along the way. I've never tried that but maybe someone here can share his
experience.
