Hi Maria,
for obtaining the sources timecourses (aka virtual channels) you can
follow the tutorials pasted below.

Hi Maité,

Thank for your answer again!

However, I would need to calculate coherence within certain frequency
bands and, therefore, I would like to use dics. The examples in the
links seem to use lcmv. Could you please let me know how I can get
coherence between conditions using dics?

Best,

Maria

>> I have managed to calculate the coherence between two conditions in the sensor space in the way you suggested. However, I haven't managed to calculate the coherence between conditions in the source space (i.e. Appendix 1 in http://www.fieldtriptoolbox.org/tutorial/coherence). ft_sourceanalysis doesn't have channelcmb. I wonder if anyone has any solutions for this?

>> Hi Maria,
>> Here it is a possible solution. First, rename channels from one of both conditions: for example, for condition 2, {'ch01cond2', 'ch02cond2', ...}. Then, append the data from both conditions. In ft_freqanalysis introduce all the channels combinations you want:
>>
>> cfg.channel    = {'MEG' 'ch01cond2' 'ch02cond2' ...};
>> cfg.channelcmb = {'ch01' 'ch01cond2'; 'ch02' 'ch02cond2'};
>> As I understand, you could use the same channelcmb later on in ft_connectivityanalysis.
>> I hope it helps.
