Hi Guofa,

What you copied looks to me like squared coherence, whereas FieldTrip 
computes absolute coherence. In essence, there is not much difference 
(as you can probably infer from the name). In my opinion, it depends 
mostly on what statistics you are using and what other methods to find 
out what makes most sense. Most papers that I know report coherence, so 
I personally prefer coherence because I know what values do make sense. 
But that's a matter of choice.

You can check Maris, Schoffelen & Oostenveld, 2007 in JNM for formula 
that Fieldtrip uses (see also 
http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/references_to_implemented_methods)

Best,
Jörn
