[FieldTrip] mtmconvol time window

[Roemer van der Meij]

Hi Julian,

Your first description is the what it reflects. If you have a cfg.toi =
0.15, the window will be centered at 0.15, going from 0 to 0.3.
If it helps, you can think of cfg.toi purely as a selection. The fourier
decomposition//wavelet convolution will be calculated for all samples in
each trial (with the window centered on each sample), the only thing
cfg.toi does is select which of those to keep as output. Cfg.toi will never
affect computation, only post-computation selection. To be more precise, in
mtmconvol you are doing a wavelet convolution in the time-domain by
multiplication in the frequency-domain. Timeoi and timeboi are used to
select those bits of the resulting complex time-series (and they reflect
cfg.toi).

All the best,
Roemer
