[Eeglablist] average reference and connectivity

[Roy Cox]

Thanks for your input Dezhong,

I've heard of REST and it definitely looks like a sensible alternative that
I might use it in the future. But for now I'm more interested in hearing
whether other people think the average reference is indeed - as I would
argue - less suitable for assessing functional connectivity.

Best,

Roy
