Dear Lizzie,
this comes up from time to time on the Mailinglist.
Check for example this response by Martin Vinck:

Quote: The debiased WPLI estimator gets negative however as a consequence of the debiasing method - different issue.
Cheers,
Julian

However, I am finding a lot of negative values in my connectivity matrices when I compute the dwPLI, and I am unsure why this might be - has anyone found this previously, or have an idea of why this might be happening? I do not get this if I compute other connectivity measures (e.g. coherence) and I have a decent amount of clean trials (around 80 per subject) on which to run the connectivity. I am computing the dwPLI from fourier coefficients exported from a straightforward FFT.
