Non parametric test on coherence

Dear Eric,

I have tried the between-trials experiment too, but the two problems still
remain (the statfun_indepsamplesZcoh looks for label field. Furtheremore if
I add it the reshape function crashes). Any other suggestions?

I have also another question relative to your reply: the baseline and
activation trials were already divided in the within-trials experiment, the
only difference with the between-trials experiment are relative to the
configuration parameters (i.e.  in between-trials only cfg.ivar is set while
in within-trials cfg.ivar and cfg.uvar are set) am I wrong?

Regarding the 'label field' problem, it seems a required field for the
configuration struct because it is used in statfun_indepsamplesZcoh to
calculate the channel combinations for the coherence.

Thanks a lot

Matteo
