Thanks a lot, Haiteng, but that was not really the issue. I have a 
specific interval I'm interested in and by using dpss over that 
interval, my frequency resolution is better than if I use TFRs and then 
average.

The problem really was in my cfg for the stats and I've just found out 
what it was. Don't know why (stupid me!!), but I set cfg.tail = 1 and 
that of course will only give me the right tail (posclusters!!)

Thanks anyways, Vitória
