[FieldTrip] Keeptrials using "pcc" for source analysis

["Jens Klinzing, Universität Tübingen"]

Hi Xie,
are you sure your output does not contain trial data?

If you look in source.avg.mom you should see a cell array containing for 
each inside source point another cell array with as many entries as 
there are trials (I know it is confusing because you expect .avg to 
contain averages, but it may not). The field .csd (cross-spectral 
density) should contain only one (complex-valued) entry per source point 
since it is averaged across trials (or calculated on the average over 
all trials, not sure right now).

By the way: In case you get errors in downstream functions with your 
current output (e.g. when using ft_sourcegrandaverage) check the 
bugzilla on PCC output containing the spatial filter (e.g. 
http://bugzilla.fieldtriptoolbox.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2861 or 3184).
If you don't really need the filter you can use cfg.keepfilter = 'no' on 
ft_sourceanalysis or remove the filter and filterdimord fields when 
calling functions that would otherwise fail.

Best,
Jens
