Compute the Phase Locking Value between two signals across trials.

You are now following this Submission

Compute the Phase Locking Value between two signals across trials, according to Lachaux, Rodriguez, Martinerie, and Varela (1999). The PLV value ranges from 0, indicating random phase differences, to 1 indicating a fixed phase difference.
