[FieldTrip] extracting individual trial phase connectivity

[Tobias Staudigl]

Dear Hweeling,

I agree with Roey that coherence/PLV cannot be calculated for individual 
trials.
However, you could try to use the deviation (in each single trial) from 
the mean phase as an approximation.

Good luck!
Tobias
