[FieldTrip] Transfer entropy

Hi Darren,

I personally recommend GCMI by Robin Ince: https://github.com/robince/gcmi

Transfer Entropy computation is definitely possible, but as far as I see in
the toolbox there is no function that computes it directly. You will have
to compute the required MI/CMI terms yourself and assemble them to
calculate TE. With this code, you can indeed also compute a "feature
informed" version of TE (i.e. Directed Feature Information), which isolates
the contribution to connectivity of the transfer of a time-varying stimulus
feature you specify explicitly. Significance testing for single-subject and
group level can proceed as specified here:
https://elifesciences.org/articles/24763

Best,

    Bruno
