[FieldTrip] instantaneous phase and phase locking value

[Shen-Mou Hsu]

Hi,

Although this might be a late reply, I would like to contribute my two
cents and also would be glad to hear any comment.

To calculate PLV
1.  get and real and imaginary part of of Fourier coefficents for each
trial for each sensor

cfg.method                  = 'wavelet'; % 'mtmfft' works as well although
I do not really look into the differences between the two
cfg.keeptrials              = 'yes';
cfg.output                  = 'fourier';
 fourier_coefficent = ft_freqanalysis(cfg, data);

2. calculate the phase

phase = arctangent of the imaginary Fourier coefficient divided by the real
one.

3. calculate the phase difference between two sensors, i and j (Melloni et
al. Journal of neuroscience 2007, 27:2858)

phaseij = the phase of the sensor i multiplied by the complex conjugate of
the second sensor j

4. calculate the PLV

PLVij = the absolute value of the mean of the phaseij across all the trials
