[Eeglablist] time-frequency contiguity threshold?

[Thomas Ferree]

This question has been addressed, at least in part, in this reference:Bokil
H, Purpura K, Schoffelen J-M, Thomson D, Mitra P (2007).  Comparing power
spectra and coherences for groups of unequal size.  Journal of Neuroscience
Methods 159: 337-345.
