font-family:Arial;color:navy'>cfg.combinechan is a rather obscure option (and
is set to ‘no’ by default) in freqdescriptives which is (as far as
I know) undocumented. It has to do with combining planar gradiometer
representation back into an axial gradiometer representation in order to be
able to compute coherence between sensor-combinations (in their original axial
representation). As a matter of fact, it is an option which has a high ‘don’t
try this at home’-content. At least a correct behavior is not guaranteed.
Anyhow, it should run through even when it is not specified.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

embed'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:navy'>If you want to test coherence against 0, the
jack-knife estimate of the variance is not going to help you too much. Rather,
you could use some kind of Z-transformation as proposed by Jarvis & Mitra Neural
computation 2001, or the Z-transformation that is described in James Kilner’s
papers, or from the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Rosenberg</st1:place></st1:City>
group. In this context, the coherence can be parametrically evaluated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

embed'><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Another possibility is using a ‘shiftpredictor’
to estimate the bias, meaning that you shuffle the trial order of one of the
two channels in your channel-combination (only works when taking fourier as an
output of freqanalysis). In my experience this only works if you use an
external reference signal, such as the EMG.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
