    Dear Yuval,<br>
    <br>
    I have to admit that I did not look at the matlab routines.<br>
    In item 2 I suppose that the covariance is calculated for each trial
    then averaged. In item 3 I would like to calculate the covariance
    from all the signal (the trials being concatenated).<br>

              <div text="#000000" bgcolor="#ffffff"> Dear fieldtrip
                users,<br>
                <br>
                There are different ways of estimating the covariance
                for LCMV calculation.<br>
                If I am correct: <br>
                <br>
                1. As suggested in one of the tutorial one can apply the
                calculation of the covariance directly on the average
                data (for the different periods of interest that are at
                least a base line and the period of interest).<br>
                <br>
                2. Estimate the covariance from the average of the
                covariance rather than the covariance of the average
                using cfg.keeptrials = "yes"<br>
                <br>
                3. Estimate the covariance from the whole trials
                concatenated together. <br>
                Is there an easy way to do that in fieldtrip (beside
                create a new data set of one trial constituted of all
                the trials)?<br>
                <br>
                Thanks<br>

                information  processing and worry about where it
                happens, and which neurotransmitters are  involved, and
                all those boring facts, but they haven't a clue about
                the computational requirements of higher
                cognitive functions."  "Why," ask the neuroscientists,
                "do you waste your time on the fantasies of Artificial
                Intelligence? They just invent whatever machinery they
                want, and say unpardonably ignorant things about the
                brain." The  cognitive psychologists, meanwhile, are
                accused of concocting models with neither biological
                plausibility nor proven computational powers; the
                anthropologists wouldn't know a model if they saw one,
                and the philosophers, as we all know, just take in each
                other's laundry, warning about confusions they
                themselves have created, in an arena bereft of both data
                and empirically testable theories. With so many idiots
                working on the problem, no wonder consciousness is
                still a mystery.<i> Philosopher Daniel Dennet,
