[FieldTrip] Circular Correlation coefficient

[David Syloni]

Dear Julian,

Thank you for the answer. I will try to apply it as you described.
However, it's important to note, that my data doesn't contain real trials,
this is a EEG during one continuous stimulus (110 sec).
Can your approach work also for   this case?


Thanks,


David
