[FieldTrip] degrees of freedom

Hi all,

I'm using ft_timelockstatistics with indepsamplesT to compare spatial
topographies between two groups (n=15 and n=13). The measure I'm interested
in has no time dimension, so I basically have one sample per electrode for
each subject.

This works fine (I get the effects I hoped for). In order to make the
statistics 'slightly more valid', however, I need to adjust the degrees of
freedom. That is, the data I'm comparing between groups has already had a
covariate taken out. So df has to be df-1.

Doesn't look like Fieldtrip allows you to set this in the cfg struct
somewhere, so any suggestions where I need to hack?

Thanks,

Roy
