[FieldTrip] specifying the variables for ft_specest_mtmfft

[Eelke Spaak]

Dear Hweeling,

ft_specest_mtmfft is one of the lower-level FieldTrip functions, which
the end-user typically should not use. Instead, have a look at the
documentation for ft_freqanalysis (type 'edit ft_freqanalysis' or look
here: http://fieldtrip.fcdonders.nl/reference/ft_freqanalysis). There
is a section specifically relating to options for mtmfft. All the
options for ft_freqanalysis and other FieldTrip functions are
specified using a 'cfg'-structure, e.g. like so:

cfg = [];
cfg.method = 'mtmfft';
cfg.taper = 'hanning';
cfg.foi = 1:150;
freq = ft_freqanalysis(cfg, data);

Best,
Eelke
