[FieldTrip] wavelet analysis

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Dear Manuel,

Thanks for your message. I gave the faq a good read, and I agree that  
the answer can be made a bit more clear. I updated the faqs you  
mentioned and hope that this explains the issue better.

Let me know if it is still not clear.

Best wishes,

Jan-Mathijs
