[Eeglablist] PSD for single subjects vs. STUDY function

[Makoto Miyakoshi]

Dear Roxanne,

I've also seen another post related to the same issue; potential scale
confusion in single-trial analysis. Could you kindly post the question to
EEGLAB bugzilla?
https://sccn.ucsd.edu/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
Sorry for inconvenience and thank you for your patience and cooperation.

If you use 'specmode', 'fft', when you computed the spectrum then the unit is power values (10*log(microvolt^2)). These two are proportional but I agree that they should be made consistent. We have entered a bug report.
