[FieldTrip] calculating behavioural-power correlation

Tue Feb 17 15:18:11 CET 2015

Dear Arjen,

Thanks! It works well now.

I plotted the results using ft_clusterplot, and it only shows the
significant clusters that show significant correlation of power and
behavioural measure, right? Or is there a better way I can display the
results?

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Hweeling
