[FieldTrip] Time-Frequency Plot Granger Causality

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Dear Luckyluke,

In principle what you want should be possible, but it is not well tested. Rather I would suggest to go for solution 2, i.e. re-epoch your data and compile a time-frequency map by hand.
If you want to try it anyway, the key would be to use cfg.method = 'mtmconvol', rather than 'mtmfft' when computing the spectral representation of your data.


Best,
Jan-Mathijs

In the tutorial demo the structure 'freq' has dimord: 'rpttap_chan_freq', and the structure 'granger' has dimord: 'chan_chan_freq'. What I am looking for is a function that returns a structure with the granger spectra computed with dimord of 'chan_chan_freq_time'

Before doing this I would like to be sure that I am not missing a way of doing it that it's already implemented in fieldtrip (I have just started using Fieldtrip a short time ago)
