[Eeglablist] Wrapped Phase Angle from newtimef?

[Maria L. Stavrinou]

Dear Zach,
You can use unwrap to un-wrap the phase that you calculate. To check if all
goes well, try this by having a simple sinusoid as input and check the
result, as shown in the image I am attaching. I would recommend, to do the
phase difference of the unwraped phase,  in radians of as they are now,
between -pi and pi. Using the function mod you can project them into [0,
2pi] interval.
