Observations:
• coherence follows power
• imaginary part has onset 5secs before movement
• imaginary part not related to power

Interaction exists!
Task-related activity exists!
Is task-related actvity interacting?
differences should be based on cross-spectra

Conclusion
• Imaginary parts of cross-spectra is not affected by non-interacting sources valuable quantity to study interactions
• ICA-like decompositions finds and separates interacting systems blindly
• Localization with MUSIC and/or dipole fit
