[Eeglablist] Induced power from wavelet

Dear Nancy,

> And Matt, I agree that EEGLAB is performing the time frequency transform
prior to trial averaging. However, it is my understanding that this gives
us the total power, including both phase-locked (evoked) and non-phase
locked (induced) activity combined together. I was wondering how to
specifically get the values for the induced activity, which it seems would
involve a subtraction of total power minus evoked power.

Something like ERSP after ERP subtracted data to compute specifically
non-phase-locked oscillatory power? You probably need to do this ERP
subtraction manually then apply newtimef().

We don't do this ERP subtraction by default, except for SIFT.
