[FieldTrip] grand average (with average across frequencies)

[Xie Wanze]

 Jose,
 It is not difficult to do grand average across subjects or frequencies if
I understand your questions correctly.
 After you get the powspctrm matrix (chan x freq) for each subject, you can
write a "for loop" to read in each person's data and then divided by the
total number of subjects. Assuming you name your output structure as
EEG_freq for each subject, the syntax would be something like:
  freqtotal = []; numsubject = 0;
  for i = 1:length(subjects)
     ...load your data here;
        if ~numsubject; freqtotal = EEG_freq.powspctrm;
        else; freqtotal = freqtotal + EEG_freq.powspctrm;
        end;
        numsubject = numsubject + 1;
 end;
 freqavg = freqtotal / numsubject;  or freqavg = freqtotal /
length(subjects);

 To get average across frequencies, simply use the "mean" function. If you
have the chan x pow structure for your output then use "mean (freqavg, 2)"
will do the average across the second dimension (i.e., frequencies).
 Or you can do the average for frequencies for each subject then do the
average across subjects.

 Hope this will answer your questions.
