problem partially solved

[Andrew Smart]

Hi Jan,
Thanks for the answer, everything works now ok.

I did follow this FIXME in freqstatistics

% FIXME in the hase of coherence, the code above does not work since "label" is then incorrect.
% marbas reported the following
%   als ik freqstatistics gebruik om coherence data te analyseren met
%   cfg.parameter = coherence, dan wordt het powspctrm vervangen door
%   het cohspctrm. Het laatste heeft echter 1 kanaal minder (dwz als
%   er 1 referentiekanaal in zit), waardoor de informatie uit data.label
%   niet meer klopt, en freqstatistics crasht. Data.label zou, in geval
%   van cfg.parameter = coherence, moeten worden vervangen door
%   data.labelcmb(:,2), dan werkt het wel.

And I changed prepare_timefreq_data

output.label = input.label:

to

output.label  = input.labelcmb;

Otherwise fieldtrip crashes because the structure of the coherence data does not have a label field, but a labelcmb with the coherence between channels and the ref channel.

Is there a way to get fieldtrip to accomodate coherence structures?
