[Eeglablist] Coherence or Correlation among set of electrodes

[Tim Mullen]

...although, if I may clarify further, even if you care only about
interactions between two very specific regions/sources, it's
generally advisable to use a multivariate approach which incorporates the
largest number of sources possible. This will help reduce the risk of false
positives incurred by purely bivariate methods (such as coherence) due to
correlation of the two measured (included) variables with unmeasured
(excluded) variables. Partial coherence is one such multivariate estimator
for correlation (in the frequency domain).
