[FieldTrip] Different way of calculating the covariance for LCM

[Luisa Frei]

I have used method 3 with fieldtrip. But I don't think there is an  
easy way, you'll have to create the concatenated dataset yourself and  
tweak some of the fields in your data structure.
In my case it was better to use this method because I am only  
interested in a very short time window, if your time window is long  
enough, it's probably better to use the average method (check van  
Veen et al., 1997, if you haven't already done so).
