[Eeglablist] Alpha power spectrum assymetry

[Simon-Shlomo Poil]

Hi Nikos,

The output of spectopo is
 Outputs:
%        spectra  = (nchans,nfreqs) power spectra (mean power over
epochs), in dB
%        freqs    = frequencies of spectra (Hz)

i.e.

[spectra, freqs] = spectopo(..

will give you the spectra with the corresponding frequencies

spectra(1, find(freqs >= 8 | freqs <=13))  should then give you the
alpha frequency band spectrum.

hope it works
-Simon
