[FieldTrip] Source statistics on spatio-temporal source reconstruction data (MNE)

[Johanna Zumer]

Dear Nicolai,

Good timing, I have just last week filed a 'bug' for this code modification
request:  http://bugzilla.fcdonders.nl/show_bug.cgi?id=2185
You may add yourself to the CC list if you wish to receive updates on the
bug progress.

I would be interested to hear if anyone else has thoughts on your
suggestion to 'hack' it as a timelock structure with channels.

Best,
Johanna
