[FieldTrip] extracting individual trial phase connectivity

[Hwee Ling Lee]

Dear Roey, Julian and Tobias,

Thanks for the feedback.

Given your suggestions, I now intend to try to calculate the deviation of
single trials from the mean phase difference (PLV). Pardon my ignorance,
however, I still experience some problems with calculating plv for single
trials.

Using this code to extract PLV:

    cfg                 = [];
    cfg.trials          = 'all';
    cfg.keeptrials      = 'yes';
    cfg.channel         = {'all'};
    cfg.removemean      = 'yes';
    cfg.method           = 'plv';
    cfg.channelcmb       = {cfg.channel, cfg.channel};
    HLF_pre_c200plv      = ft_connectivityanalysis(cfg, HLF_pre_c200);

Although I've specified to keep individual trials, ft_connectivityanalysis
still show averaged PLV across trials for the output. Could anyone of you,
or someone else, kindly highlight my mistake in my calculation?

Thank you very much!

Best wishes,
Hweeling
