freqanalysis_wltconvol.m question

Robert,
Thanks for your quick reply.  I did not realize that
freqanalysis_wltconvol.m allowed for 'fourier' output, but maybe I need to
download the latest version.  Or, do you mean I should use freqanalysis_mtm
instead?  Also, how does ITC differ from phase-locking value?  I thought
they were the same measure.
